Tim Weah of the United States leaves the field after receiving a red card during a Copa America Group C soccer match against Panama in Atlanta, Thursday, June 27, 2024.
It was earliest red card for a U.S. player since Jimmy Conrad was tossed from a 2010 friendly against Honduras.“There is absolutely no place in the game for such hateful and discriminatory behavior,” the statement said. “These actions are not only unacceptable but but also contrary to the values of respect and inclusivity that we uphold as an organization.”
The USSF said it will offer mental health services to any player of staff member who requests it. The governing body also reported the racist abuse to CONMEBOL, the South American organizers of the tournament.
