Juventus Match Halted Due to Racist Abuse Towards Vlahovic
The Serie A match between Juventus and Fiorentina was temporarily suspended after Fiorentina fans directed racist chants at Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic.
In a Serie A encounter between Juventus and Fiorentina, play was halted when Fiorentina supporters directed racist chants towards Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian forward was subjected to derogatory terms referencing his heritage, prompting the referee to suspend the match temporarily.
The incident occurred early in the game, leading to a seven-minute stoppage as stadium announcements were made, urging the offending fans to cease their abusive behavior. Despite the interruption, the match resumed, concluding in a 2-2 draw after a late equalizer from Riccardo Sottil.
Vlahovic, who transferred from Fiorentina to Juventus in January 2022 for €70 million, has previously been the target of similar abuse. This season, he has scored seven goals in 16 Serie A matches, with Juventus experiencing a series of draws and victories.
The incident highlights ongoing issues with racism in football, particularly in Italian stadiums, where players of diverse backgrounds continue to face discriminatory behavior from certain fan groups.
