Fiorentina's Kevin-Prince Boateng to create anti-racism task force in 2020

The 32-year old is taking further steps in tackling the malaise of racism in football

Fiorentina forward Kevin-Prince Boateng will be setting up an anti-racism task force from 2020 in a bid to fight discrimination against players of predominantly African descent.

There has been a wave of racist incidents in the Serie A this season that targeted players like Romelu Lukaku, Moise Kean, Mario Balotelli, Senegal defender Kalidou Koulibaly, likewise AC Milan and Ivory Coast midfielder Franck Kessie.

Boateng, was equally subject to racist chants while playing for AC Milan in 2013, walking off the pitch in a friendly match against Pro Patria, with the game abandoned after 26 minutes.
