Manchester City has expressed its support for forward Antoine Semenyo after he faced further racial abuse this season. The 26-year-old Ghana international recently shared a screenshot of the abuse on his Instagram story, stating 'It's started again'. This incident follows a previous case of racial abuse during a match against Liverpool, where a supporter was arrested and charged. The Premier League and the FA have condemned the abuse, reaffirming their commitment to addressing racism in the sport.
Both organizations have pledged to work with clubs, law enforcement, and social media companies to ensure that those responsible face severe consequences, including criminal charges and football bans. The incident highlights the ongoing issue of racism in football, with Semenyo being a victim of abuse on multiple occasions. The football community has come together to condemn the abuse, with Sky Sports and Kick It Out, football's equality and inclusion organization, working to create a safe and inclusive environment for all fans.
