The New York Red Bulls withdrew two of its youth teams from an MLS-run youth tournament in Florida Thursday following multiple incidents of racial abuse being directed at their players, the team confirmed to ESPN.
The Red Bulls players also alleged that MLS failed to provide adequate support to the victims in the aftermath of the incidents.
MLS NEXT immediately investigated and then issued suspensions in accordance with the MLS NEXT Disciplinary Code to the offending individuals for violating the MLS NEXT Safety & Wellbeing Policy.
The Generation Adidas (GA) Cup is a youth tournament run by MLS Next, the MLS-run youth organization. In addition to involving teams from MLS clubs, the event at the IMG Academy in Bradenton also includes teams from Mexico, Europe and South America.
