Glentoran Football Club Statement on Racism Allegation
Glentoran Football Club strongly condemns racism and all forms of discrimination. We are deeply concerned by the alleged racial abuse directed at our player Fuad Sule during last night’s match against Linfield at the National Stadium.
There is no place for such behaviour in football, and we will fully support Fuad and any of our players or staff members affected by this incident. No one should have to endure racism or abuse, and we will ensure that Fuad and our team have all the necessary resources and backing as we move forward from this unacceptable situation.
We appreciate the prompt and strong statement from Linfield Football Club and will work closely with them as they conduct their investigation, assisting in any way necessary to ensure that the individual responsible is held to account.
We urge the football authorities to impose the strongest possible punishments on anyone found guilty of such actions. Glentoran Football Club will continue to do everything we can to stamp out discrimination from the game and ensure that football remains an inclusive space for everyone.
