During a recent match in Italy, the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) reported alleged racist comments directed towards two U-15 players. This incident follows a similar case earlier, involving an U-17 player. The FAI has expressed full support for the affected players, their families, and teammates, and called for a thorough investigation into these incidents. U-15 head coach Jason Donohue voiced strong condemnation of racism in youth football, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and the duty to address such behavior at all levels of the sport.
As players and staff we are appalled that we still have players subjected to racism in youth football, said Ireland U-15 head coach Jason Donohue.
The Football Association of Ireland can confirm that we have reported incidents of racism directed towards our players during the Ireland Boys U-15s match with UAE on Thursday, May 1.
