FIFA Regional Director Europe Elkhan Mammadov has met Norwegian Football Association (NFF) President Lise Klaveness and other leaders in football, sport and business in the country’s capital Oslo to discuss the role of football in combatting racism within society, Caspian Energy Media informs, citing Inside FIFA.
At a roundtable discussion initiated by the NFF, Mammadov presented FIFA’s zero tolerance stance to racism in football, and highlighted recent steps taken to reinforce its position.
Unanimously approved at the 74th FIFA Congress in May 2024, the ‘No Racism’ crossed-arm gesture has been introduced in competition at the ongoing FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup™ in Colombia.
