FC Porto report racism during the Clássico against Sporting | OneFootball

“FC Porto vehemently and unequivocally condemns the racist insults directed at its athletes during the basketball classic against Sporting CP, played this afternoon in Lisbon, which ended in a Porto victory by 82-76.

The racist insults aimed at Wes Washpun and Javian Davis were immediately reported by coach Fernando Sá, and the incidents were recorded in the report prepared by the Public Security Police officers present at the scene, who promptly identified one of the perpetrators.

FC Porto absolutely rejects any form of racism, discrimination, or hate speech—practices that have no place in sports or in society.

After this regrettable episode, the Club expresses its solidarity with all athletes who were subjected to discriminatory behavior at the João Rocha Pavilion.

FC Porto will continue to cooperate with the relevant authorities so that situations of such gravity are properly sanctioned and expects measures to be taken by the Portuguese Basketball Federation and the Authority for the Prevention and Combat of Violence in Sport.”
