FIFA condemns racial abuse in German Cup matches.

FIFA President, Gianni Infantino, has condemned alleged racial abuse incidents in two German Cup matches, describing them as "unacceptable". 

The incidents occurred during Lokomotive Leipzig vs. Schalke and Kaiserslautern vs. RSV Eintracht, where players reported racial abuse from the crowd, but Infantino declared that there is no place for racism in football, and promised to work with the German FA to combat racism.

The incidents come after Bournemouth winger, Antoine Semenyo, alleged racial abuse during a Premier League match against Liverpool, after which a man was arrested for a racially aggravated public order offense in connection with the incident, while Semenyo said the incident would "stay with him forever" but appreciated the response of players and officials.

FIFA said it will closely monitor these incidents and work with the German FA to address the issue. Infantino emphasized that racist abuse is "absolutely unacceptable" and reiterated his commitment to fighting racism in football.
