Racist insults they receive on the football field, written on the back

  • “Tximua”, “Esklabo”, “Sudaka”, “Moro”, “Ijitoa”… The insults you had to listen to during the football season have come out in African Soul players’ T-shirts at the last match. Most are migrants in this team of the third Andalusian division and the players want to leave it clean: “We are above insults.”

Omar, Bassirou, Eric, Abdoulaye, Osaivbie, Ivan, Issa, Modou… Alma de Africa is made up of people of twelve different nationalities, have been playing and listening to everything in the field for five years by the public and their rivals. In the last game of the season, at the place of their names they've written "Nigga," "Gorila," "Moro," and others in the t-shirt, turning xenophobic and racist insults into protest.

“Let everyone see racist insults”

“With this initiative we want to raise people’s awareness, because we are fed up with this contempt and we want respect. Let everyone see the racist insults we receive,” they explained.

They have also underlined the benefits of football, which has helped them integrate: "We are a family in Alma de Africa."
