Portuguese authorities launch investigation into alleged racial abuse against Emmanuel Boateng

Football player Emmanuel Boateng of Ghana is the subject of an investigation by the Authority for the Prevention and Combating Violence in Sport (APCVD).

The event took place during a Liga Portugal 22/23 match between Vitória S.C. and Rio Ave in week 15. Boateng allegedly endured racial epithets from home supporters. André Narciso, the referee, was informed of it, and the game was briefly stopped as a result.

The incident has received extensive coverage in the Portuguese media, and the APCVD anti-discrimination organization is now formally looking into the story to determine its veracity. If proven guilty, they intend to take action against the perpetrators.

”In view of the news widely disseminated in the media regarding insults of a discriminatory nature and acts of racism in the match between Vitória Sport Clube – Rio Ave Futebol Clube, which took place last Saturday, January 7, at the D. Afonso Henriques stadium in Guimarães, counting for the 15th round of the 1st League, since the denunciation of the practice of illegal acts of a national contraordenature is at issue, the Authority for the Prevention and Combating of Violence in Sport (APCVD) has initiated proceedings for the commission of the commission in order to establish any perpetrators of the facts denounced and the responsibilities arising therefrom,” a statement from the APCVD reads.

It is important to the APCVD to prevent and combat any forms of discrimination in the sport and to make sure that the fair play is maintained during the games.
