Last weekend, Dortmund winger, Jadon Sancho, unveiled his interest to stop racism after he scored by showing a message under his shirt expressing solidarity with George Floyd.
“Football is a sport which encourages tolerance, inclusion and justice,” Ceferin was quoted by Daily Star as saying.
“These are the same values being espoused by those showing solidarity to George Floyd.
“If a player in our competitions were to display a message or act symbolically to ask for equality for human beings the circumstances around the event should be taken into account in line with UEFA’s zero-tolerance against racism.”
FIFA at the other end has told football competition organizers to apply ‘common sense’ and consider not sanctioning players demanding justice for Floyd, during games.
