Switzerland is fighting not only for victories at the World Cup, but also against racism. Johan Manzambi is an example of how players with a migration background are exposed to racist comments.

What's happening at the World Cup?

The World Cup is a major tournament where players from all over the world come together. Unfortunately, there are also racist comments and hate messages against players.

How is the association reacting?

The Swiss association is taking a strong stance against racism and hate comments. The comment functions on the social media channels were temporarily deactivated to avoid racist comments.

Who are the affected players?

Players like Johan Manzambi, Granit Xhaka, and Breel Embolo are just a few examples of players who are exposed to racist comments. However, they are not alone, as the Swiss association supports them in the fight against racism.

Switzerland has a record of 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss (LWWWD) in the last five games. The team will continue to fight for victories and at the same time take action against racism and hate comments.
