“We have to protect him” – racism scandal shakes red and gold football

It happened again! Racism in football is still commonplace. This time it was Moaz Abd El Rehim. The Austrian kicker with Egyptian roots was deeply insulted during his “Magrethner” Burgenland league game in Stuben (against Edelserpentin)!

The club then published a statement on Facebook – with the core message “We are all human”. But not everyone around the football field seems to realize this. “It was a spectator who kept insulting our player. Also racist. We can’t accept that,” says St. Margarethen’s chairman Andreas Schuster. The “Greaboch” association wrote a letter to the BFV, which in turn should sensitize the clubs (even) more to this issue. “An example needs to be made. I no longer accept powerlessness. Mo is completely exhausted. We have to protect him, that’s our duty,” said Schuster. The promoted player apologizes. Whether the promoted player gets a kiss on the hand when it comes to penalties will be decided in the Struma meeting. “Edelserpentin immediately apologized. But I feel sorry for them because they can’t do anything for this one person.” Who was not identified. But there will be no complaint against “unknown”.
