For the first time ever, Brazil's football team wear black shirts during game

The team continued its anti-racism campaign and support of player Vinicius Jr after he has been the target of alleged racial abuse on numerous occasions.

President of the Brazilian Football Confederation, Ednaldo Rodrigues, said:"The fight against racism, a crime that needs to stop around the world, is also why we are here."That's also why our national team played the first half of the match in black. And today, once again, another criminal was publicly exposed."Both Brazil and Guinea also posed in front of a banner that read"with racism, there is no game".

Back in February, a 20-year-old fan was fined €4,000 , banned from stadiums for a year and had his membership to Mallorca football club revoked for three years after another incident where Vinicius was the target of racial abuse. Real Valladolid also suspended 12 season ticket holders while investigating alleged verbal abuse against the player.
