The German Olympic Games men’s soccer team left the field five minutes before the end of a warm-up match against Honduras after one of their players was allegedly subjected to racist abuse.
The team faced Honduras ahead of the 2020 Olympics, which kick off next week, participating in shorter matches to test their fitness in Japan.
The Germans were tied 1-1 with their opponents in Central America, with Germany leveling thanks to a goal from Felix Uduokhai.
However, the players left the pitch with five minutes left, with the team’s Twitter account claiming the players decided to leave because Hertha Berlin defender Jordan Torunarigha was racially insulted.
The Honduran national team then confirmed that the match was abandoned after “an alleged racist insult” directed at a German player.
Still, they insisted that Germany’s position was due to a “misunderstanding on the ground”.
Uni withdraws student offer for racist abuse against English threesome
A university withdrew an offer from a student following racist abuse of English players after the Euro 2020 final.
Video footage of a Snapchat group chat circulated on Instagram, with an individual heard using racist language towards Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka, who each missed penalties in the Wembley shooting.
A spokesperson for Nottingham Trent University said: “This allegation does not implicate an NTU student. We do not tolerate any form of discrimination, including racism.
“We looked into this matter immediately and therefore withdrew an offer from a candidate.”
