“In the face of the rematch against Corinthians do Brasil, for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, Boca Juniors once again invites fans to reflect to live this Tuesday’s match at Bombonera with passion, but far from any kind of racist manifestation.
This new match against a team from Brazil represents another opportunity to reject any xenophobic act that attacks the rights of any group and to demonstrate the lessons learned from recent episodes, which not only damage the club’s image but also the economy. Boca, it is worth saying once again, does not discriminate.
It is worth remembering once again that CONMEBOL has severely tightened the fines imposed on participating clubs in cases of racism and that the reiteration of these behaviors can not only lead to greater economic penalties, but also the closure of the stadium. Likewise, on the part of the club, this type of conduct implies an action that may be subject to the harshest sanctions provided for in the bylaws, such as expulsion from the status of member or member”, wrote in note.
