Como defender Marco Curto suspended for 10 matches for racist abuse

The Como player insulted Wolverhampton striker Hwang Hee-chan in a pre-season match in July

Defender of Como Marco Curto disqualified for 10 matches for racist insults. Five of them will be placed on probation and placed on probation for two years.

Courtauld insulted Korean Wolverhampton striker Hwang Hee Chang in pre-season sparring in July. The incident occurred in the second half of the match, in which another Wolves player Daniel Podence was sent off for punching.

Wolverhampton complained to the Italian Football Association and UEFA about Curto’s words. However, both organizations were unable to do anything, since the sparring did not take place under the auspices of UEFA.

The Korean Football Association intervened in the matter because Hwang is a national team player. The decision to disqualify was ultimately made by FIFA. In addition to the suspension, Courtauld will perform community service and undergo training with an organization approved by FIFA.

The 25-year-old defender has a contract with Como. This season, Curto is playing on loan for Cesena in Serie B. Marco played nine matches for the club in all competitions of the season, in which he scored one goal and gave one assist.
