Gianni Infantino wants a ‘defeat by forfeit’ in the event of racist chants in the stands. The president of Fifa also wants the justice system to be firmer in the face of racist acts in football.

“We must also impose criminal sanctions and ban the perpetrators from the stadium,” he said. The call for firmness also echoed by the president of the French Football Federation Philippe Diallo and by the leader of UEFA Alexandr Ceferin.
