KFA Files Complaint with FIFA Over Racist Remarks

The Korean Football Association has filed a complaint with FIFA over an alleged racist remark directed at Wolves' Hwang Hee-chan in a pre-season friendly against Como in Marbella, Spain. Hwang reported the incident, leading to Wolves and Hwang insisting it was racist, with support from the English Football Association. Como defended the accused player, stating it was a reference to Hwang's name, not meant derogatory. The incident has escalated to FIFA, with KFA requesting stronger sanctions to prevent racial discrimination in football, amidst UEFA's initial inability to intervene due to the match not being a UEFA competition. Wolves' Daniel Podence was sent off for reacting to the incident, and the matter is being investigated by relevant football authorities.
