Records of cases of racism in football grew by around 39% in one year, according to the 10th Report on Racial Discrimination in Football, released this Thursday (26), at the CBF headquarters, in Rio de Janeiro. The 2023 edition of the document was released this Thursday (26), in the CBF auditorium, by the Observatory of Racial Discrimination in Football.

“This data is not just bad. It also presents an important evolution, which is greater awareness among fans and players. If we have more complaints, it is because Brazilian society is more attentive to understanding what racism is and its different forms of expression”, added the founder and executive director of the Observatory, Marcelo Carvalho.
