Racist Chants Interrupt Juventus-Fiorentina Match

During a Serie A match between Juventus and Fiorentina, the game was interrupted due to racist chants directed at Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic from Fiorentina fans. Referee Maurizio Mariani halted the match after Vlahovic reported the abuse, leading to an announcement urging fans to stop. In response, Juventus supporters rallied around Vlahovic, singing his name and taunting the visiting fans. Vlahovic, who scored 49 goals for Fiorentina before his €80 million transfer to Juventus in 2022, has been a target for discrimination since leaving the club. This incident highlights ongoing issues of racism in Italian football, prompting condemnation from officials and fans alike. The match continued without further major incidents after the brief suspension.
