The All India Football Federation (AIFF) said on Tuesday it has referred complaints of racist abuse – during the Indian Super League – to the disciplinary committee for further investigation into the matter.
The development comes a day after Kerala Blasters filed a complaint of racism against its defender, Fallou Ndiaye, during the ISL match against Bengaluru FC at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium.
During the match, Ndiaye, who is from Senegal, was subjected to racist comments, videos of which have been widely circulated on social media.
«The AIFF has a zero-tolerance policy towards racism. The complaints have been referred to the Disciplinary Commission, an independent judicial body, for investigation in accordance with the AIFF disciplinary code. The AIFF will refrain from making any further comments while the proceedings are ongoing,» the Federation said in a statement.
«The Indian Football family stands firmly against racism. Those who bring hatred into our stadiums have no place in our game.»
