Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr will lead a special Fifa anti-racism committee made up of players, says the world governing body’s president Gianni Infantino.<\/span><\/p>\n Infantino asked Vinicius to lead the committee, which will suggest stricter punishments for discriminatory behaviour in football.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Brazil forward, 22, was racially abused several times last season.<\/span><\/p>\n “Enough is enough. There will be no more football with racism in it,” Infantino said. <\/span><\/p>\n “The games should be stopped immediately when it happens.”<\/span><\/p>\n As well as applying disciplinary and competition punishments, Infantino says that Fifa will pursue legal action against abusers in countries where racism occurs during football matches.<\/span><\/p>\n “We need to hear the players and what they need to work in a safer environment,” he added. “We are very serious about it.<\/span><\/p>\n “We will implement very blunt and strong punishments to end, once and for all, the problem of racism in football. As president of Fifa, I feel I needed to talk personally with Vinicius about it.”<\/span><\/p>\n Vinicius received support from across the world after the latest case of abuse <\/span>during a game at Valencia<\/span><\/a> in May.<\/span><\/p>\n La Liga president Javier Tebas and the league’s handling of the incident was widely condemned after he told the player on social media that “you need to inform yourself properly”, although <\/span>Tebas later apologised.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Brazil are playing friendlies against Guinea in Barcelona on Saturday and Senegal in Lisbon on Tuesday as part of an anti-racism campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n “I’m overwhelmed and thankful for the huge support I received from everywhere,” Vinicius said in a statement after training with Brazil on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n “Infantino came today to show his support and asked me for advice on which players I think should be on the committee Fifa is creating. I think it’s important and necessary, I embrace it.”<\/span><\/p>\n
