Statement on behalf of UEFA and its 55 National Associations

FFF STATEMENT: The racist remarks made by Paraguayan Senator Celeste Amarilla targeting Kylian Mbappé are utterly abhorrent and unacceptable. How can anyone make such comments? These remarks are criminal and deserve condemnation. They must be prosecuted, here and elsewhere. The FFF is referring the matter to the public prosecutor's office with a view to legal proceedings. The Federation offers its full support to its captain, its players and, more broadly, to all victims of such hateful remarks. More than ever, the FFF remains committed to fighting racism and all forms of discrimination. These comments bring shame on those who make them and those who spread them. The players of the French national team represent France, it is our country that has been insulted.

Needs up, funding down. But our Humanitarian Coordinators keep taking on the odds as they seek to reach 87m people with lifesaving aid. Hear more from them about their mission, and the challenges they face.

Un but de plus pour Kylian Mbappé. Contre le racisme cette fois. Tout mon soutien. Quand les mots salissent, nos valeurs répondent : dignité, respect, fraternité. @KMbappe 👏

Madame Celeste Amarilla, Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction. Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays. Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

Horrifying. This is what happens when people - you know who you are - shamefully demonise all Muslims for the hideous crimes of a small minority.

The attack began near a mosque & ended with 5 people injured. Last night’s midnight bulletin on Radio 4 had the story half way down the running order and this morning’s 9 am bulletin had a 20 second read

'It's a racist tweet, let's be honest.' @Lewis_Goodall puts Tory peer Daniel Hannan's comments on France and Senegal's footballers to Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride.

“I carry with me a photo of a Muslim child who, during my visit to Lebanon, was standing there holding a sign that said ‘Welcome, Pope Leo,’ and in this latest phase of the war, he was killed. “There are many human situations like this, and I believe we must have the ability to think in this way. “And as a Church, I say again: as a pastor, I cannot be in favor of war. “I would like to encourage everyone to make efforts to seek answers that come from a culture of peace, not of hatred or division.” — Pope Leo XIV

Ten years ago next week, the Labour MP Jo Cox was stabbed and killed by a white supremacist born in Scotland who hated her support for remaining in the European Union. Farage and his far-right supporters didn’t give a damn.
