Würzburger Kickers slapped with fine after fan racially abused Ghanaian forward John Yeboah

German lower-tier club, Würzburger Kickers have been fined a sum of 3,000 euros after a fan of the club racially abused German-Ghanaian forward John Yeboah.

Early this year on February 12, there was an incident when Würzburger Kickers played against MSV Duisburg in a clash in the German 3. Lig.

After the end of the first half, a fan of Würzburger Kickers verbally abused John Yeboah who reported the incident.

After looking into the matter, the Sports Court has fined Würzburger Kickers a sum of 3,000 euros for insult.

The court said such acts can no longer be tolerated in sport. Fortunately for the club, the fact that it was an action from a fan that could not have been prevented resulted in a mild punishment.

Already, the club has apologised to MSV Duisburg and John Yeboah after the incident. Würzburger Kickers makes it clear that it does not support abuse of any kind.
