Scores of players at the 2021 Euros and Afcon finals were subjected to homophobic and racist attacks

More than half of all players at the finals of 2021’s European Championship and Africa Cup of Nations were subjected to some form of discriminatory abuse online, a report published by global football governing body Fifa has revealed.

It added that much of the abuse came from players’ home nations and took place before, during and after games. The report said a substitute player from Egypt was the most abused player at the Afcon finals in 2022. “Unfortunately, there is a trend developing where a percentage of posts on social media channels directed towards players, coaches, match officials and the teams themselves is not acceptable, and this form of discrimination — like any form of discrimination — has no place in football.”
