FIFA Open Charges Against Russia For Racial Chants
World football governing body, FIFA have opened charges against the Russian football Union for racial and monkey chants targeted at Paul Pogba, Ousmane Dembele and some other French players when the two teams clashed in a friendly game in March.
The duo were alleged to have been victims of monkey chants from fans of their host in the match France won 1-3 with Kylian Mbappe scoring a brace and Paul Pogba scoring a wonderful freekick.
A FIFA spokesperson has said the body is looking into it having collected evidence from the Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE) observer on ground at the venue.

In the same light, UEFA has opened charges against Zenith St. Petersburg for racial Chants heard during the Europa League game against RB Leipzig.
The Zenith pitch, Krestovsky will stage a World Cup semi-final on July 10, as well as group matches including Russia vs Egypt, Brazil vs Costa Rica and Nigeria vs Argentina.
It a good thing we have regulatory bodies to cortail racism I feel incomplete the high rising.
It's right about time they did that. Dealing with Racism before the world cup. Supporters/offender who rant racist chants will now have to careful or face proper sanction. Nice one from FIFA
