Increase in cases pressures Brazilian football to take action against racism

The CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) started in recent days a campaign against racial discrimination and violence in Brazilian stadiums. Plaques with phrases against racism were placed in the matches of competitions organized by the entity, and the campaign symbol began to be stamped on the clubs’ uniforms.

The confederation also hosted a seminar on the subject. During the event, an annual report pointed to the increase in cases of discrimination within stadiums since 2014, with the exception of 2020, when the calendar was interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Last year, a total of 158 cases were reported.

In this episode of E Tem Mais, Carol Nogueira presents a balance of the new proposals announced by the CBF to combat racism in sport. To describe the panorama and the challenges of the fight against discrimination in football, researchers Marcelo Carvalho, director of the Observatory of Racial Discrimination in Football, and Marcel Tonini, from the Football Museum, participate in this episode.
