Lok Leipzig: NOFV president warns of prejudice the East club

by








The Schalke player Christopher Antwi-Adjei has apparently been badly insulted in the cup game against Lok Leipzig. The NOFV president now warned of prejudices from the East Club.

President Hermann Winkler from the Northeast German Football Association (NOFV) wants to wait for the result of the investigation in this case after the racism incident in the DFB Cup game between Lok Leipzig and FC Schalke 04 before judging it. “With all the necessity of a rapid processing of this serious topic, it stops with speculations and blame before the game report and the results of the police surveys are not evaluated,” said Winkler of the German Press Agency.



The DFB Vice President himself was an eyewitness to the Schalke victory (1-0 after extra time) and said that he “noticed no xenophobic mood”.

Lok Leipzig fans whistle players

The Schalke professional Christopher Antwi-Adjei had identified a racist insult from the stands against him on Sunday afternoon after around a quarter of an hour. Referee Max Burda interrupted the game at 0-0 for a few minutes. According to a note by the stadium spokesman that discriminatory calls should be avoided, the encounter continued.

From then on, Antwi-Adjei was whistled by numerous locomotive fans. The 31-year-old filed a complaint and the police started investigations.


“It doesn’t make the skin, not in the world, generally not at all,” said the offensive player, born in Hagen. According to his statement, the “n-word” was called. The term “n-word” today describes a previously used racist name for black people.

“Not everyone said it either. For me it was an occasional reputation. I hope the person thinks about these words again,” said Antwi-Adjei. Again and again, black players in particular are victims of racism in football stadiums.

The incident even called the highest official level of world football. None other than FIFA President Gianni Infantino spoke up and condemned the action: “I repeat myself and will continue to do so: in football there is no place for racism or any other form of discrimination,” said the world leader. Infantino now expects enlightenment and punishment of the perpetrators from the German Football Association like the German police.
