Vasco U16 team subject to racist abuse by Juventus youth players

he Brazilian team won the match 1-0 with a goal scored by Bruno Cosendey, but Juventus players racially abused Vasco players throughout the match, by calling them 'monkeys'.

Vasco have officially protested, expressing their disgust over the events that happened during the match and demanding that the tournament's organization severely punish those responsible for the racist abuse.

They released a note signed by club's president Roberto Dinamite describing the incidents and reminding that UEFA, FIFA and other football organizations want to kick racism out of football.

Vasco also mentioned that they were the first team in Brazil to sign players from African descent, thus being one of the first to fight against racism in football.

Besides beating Juventus 1-0, Vasco also beat A.C. Sambonifacese 4-1.

The tournament includes other traditional teams such as Inter Milan, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Arsenal and Barcelona.

Ps; didn't know where to post this so if anything, move it to the right section, pls.

I would wait until Juventus say something about it. By the way, this whole news is like glorification and advertising Vasco as the anti-racist, "cool" club.

True, which is why we'll have to wait to see what was said. If it was a couple of kids who mistook general insults for racist abuse then no one will make a fuss.

Not that it's really acceptable either, but it's a competitive sport and they aren't adults.
