Football legends George Weah and Didier Drogba appointed given special roles by FIFA in fight against racism

FIFA president Gianni Infantino further added: “They will further push for a shift in football culture, making sure measures to counter racism are not just talked about, but actioned, both on and off the pitch. Let’s be clear on this: racism and discrimination are not simply wrong – they are crimes. All incidents of racism, whether in stadiums or online, must be fully punished both by football and across society.”
