On Sunday, a Serie A match in Turin was briefly halted due to inappropriate chants directed at Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic by fans of the visiting Fiorentina team.
Vlahovic, who represents Serbia internationally, had previously played for Fiorentina before making his move to Juventus three years ago.
During the match, it seemed that he alerted the referee about the discriminatory remarks from the crowd.
In response, the referee paused the game, convened the teams, and instructed that a warning announcement be made through the stadium’s public address system.
This announcement informed attendees that if such discriminatory behavior continued, the match would face an indefinite suspension.
After the warning, the game resumed without further incident.
