Race attendees prohibited by the German Federation
In a regrettable incident during the EuroBasket 2022 game between Germany and Lithuania, two individuals were ejected from the arena following allegations of racist behaviour.
According to reports, some Lithuanian fans made monkey noises during the game, prompting the German coaching staff to alert security about the incident at halftime. The German Basketball Federation (DBB) swiftly ejected the offenders from the arena.
FIBA, the international governing body for basketball, has taken note of the incident and intends to inform the Lithuanian team about the matter. The organisation has also stated that it plans to contact the Lithuanian team's delegation to discuss the issue further.
In response to the incident, the German coaching staff strongly condemned racism and expressed their disappointment in the actions of the suspected fans. FIBA has also provided footage and information about the incident to the authorities for further investigation.
In a statement to MagentaSport, the German coaching staff spoke about the incident, expressing their hope that such behaviour will not be tolerated in future games. FIBA has also reiterated its commitment to supporting efforts to prevent similar incidents in the future.
At the time of writing, the suspect excluded from all remaining games by FIBA due to the racism incident at EuroBasket 2022 has not been identified in the provided search results. The organisation has not released any further details about the identity of the individual or individuals involved.
This incident serves as a reminder that racism has no place in sports or any aspect of society. FIBA and the participating teams have a responsibility to ensure that all fans and players are treated with respect and dignity, and to take swift action against any instances of racist behaviour.
