UEFA, FIFPro 'Condemn Racist Abuse' Towards Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly

UEFA and FIFPro have joined together to condemn the racist abuse directed at defender Kalidou Koulibaly during Napoli's 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan on Wednesday.

The two organisations have also criticised the way the situation was handled by match referee Paolo Mazzoleni:

UEFA & players' union FIFPro on racist abuse aimed at Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly & referee's handling: "Very concerned by this unacceptable racist incident and by what appears on the surface to be a failure to respect the widely-recognised three-step anti-racism protocol" https://t.co/EkJ1AbM9qm

The FIGC, Italy's football federation, has since handed Inter Milan a two-match stadium ban in response to the incident, per Football Italia.
