Company Response
Conmebol did not respond to lack of concrete action against racism
We invite Conmebol to comment on the following allegations:
- Leaders of Brazilian football teams point to a lack of concrete action against racism by Conmebol;
- Conmebol failed to apply adequate punishment to the offenders responsible for racist offences against Palmeiras players Luighi and Figueiredo, who were harassed and called monkeys; failing to follow protocol established by FIFA;
- Conmebol president Alejandro Dominguez, faced with the possibility of Brazilian teams boycotting the Libertadores da América competition, made a statement that was repudiated by the Brazilian federal government, saying that the Libertadores without Brazil is like ‘Tarzan without Cheetah’.
Conmebol did not respond.
