The German Football Association (DFB) has initiated an investigation into alleged incidents of racist abuse that occurred during two German Cup matches. Schalke's Christopher Antwi-Adjei confronted fans after his team’s match against Lokomotiv Leipzig was temporarily suspended due to racist comments. The stadium announcer urged a cessation of such language. Antwi-Adjei reported the incident to the referee, expressing disappointment at the occurrence of racism in modern football. Meanwhile, another incident was reported during a match between Eintracht Stahnsdorf and Kaiserslautern, prompting security intervention. DFB's supervisory committee is reviewing these cases and the involved clubs.
"It's not acceptable, not in this day and age, not at all," said Christopher Antwi-Adjei, expressing his disappointment over the racist abuse he faced during the match.
