The case is growing in importance, given the gravity of the charges. Indeed, at the start of the match, Pierre Webo, assistant of Istanbul Basaksehir, was expelled after explaining that the 4th referee had accused him of “negro.” All the players, Istanbul and PSG, have therefore decided to stop the meeting, the Parisians showing solidarity with their opponents. The Turkish Sports Minister reacted, as explained by RMC Sport, as well as President Erdogan.
The Minister of Sports speaks
He thus declared “Racism is a crime against humanity! We are alongside our representative Başakşehir” in a tweet unveiled a few moments ago. The match has still not resumed because the players of Istanbul Basaksehir refuse to resume if the 4th referee is not replaced. President Erdogan, for his part, has said he strongly condemns racism and calls on UEFA to act.
I strongly condemn the racist remarks made against Pierre Webo from the technical team of our representative Başakşehir, and I believe that the necessary steps will be taken by UEFA.
We are unconditionally against racism and discrimination in sports and all areas of life. #Notoracism
