In a bid to tackle racism in soccer, Brazil and Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior has agreed to join a new task force, FIFA president Gianni Infantino told reporters on Thursday. Vinicius has been the subject of sustained racist abuse by fans in Spanish stadiums throughout the season, with little done by referees or soccer bodies to protect him.
That must stop, Infantino said in an Instagram post after he met the player at a Brazil training camp in Spain.
