Jim Crawford’s side were leading 3-0 when the incident occurred, prompting the match to be abandoned.
THE KUWAIT FA “categorically rejects” claims from the Football Association of Ireland that one of the latter’s players was racially abused during an U21 friendly encounter between the two nations on Monday.
“Kuwait Football Association confirms that the circulated news is false, and it categorically rejects such accusations, especially considering the match did not reach completion due to excessive roughness and tension between the players. The match was stopped by the referee in the 70th minute in order to protect the players from potential injuries.
“Kuwait FA also affirms that all players representing the Kuwaiti national teams are characterised by commitment, discipline, good manners, and exemplary behaviour. None of them are allowed to act improperly towards any other party.” Gianni Infantino said last week that referees should stop matches if incidents of discrimination occur.
