The winner of Brazil’s two -time world cup, Ronaldo Nazariowill lead a special working team created to try to eradicate racism, discrimination and violence in South American football, as Conmebol announced. “Your mission is to design policies and establish availability mechanisms and penalties that contribute to the removal of behaviors affecting both sport and society,” they said in a statement.
Ronaldo, 48, retired in 2019 after a career that included World Cup titles in 1994 and 2002. The appointment arrived after a meeting of leaders, government officials, former players and union representatives of the President of Conmebol, Alejandro Domínguez, to address issues that came from his controversial statement about the Brazil’s Brazil Football.
Domínguez brought anger when he said that clubs in Brazil retired from Copa Libertadores because of the stages of racism would make a competition “like Tarzan without cheetah.” Conmebol has undergone pressure increases to act with a decision against racism. Many Brazil players and fans have been the subject of monkeys of monkeys in games away from home in recent years, which has also developed more pressure on the judges to act.
In addition to Ronaldo, former FIFA Fatma Samaura secretary general and former Argentine player Sergio Marchi, president of Fifpro South America will be part of the working group.
