Football Federation Australia investigating Roly Bonevacia’s racism claims

Football
Adelaide United survived playing for half an hour with 10 men to secure a draw against Western Sydney Wanderers.

Western Sydney Wanderers midfielder Roly Bonevacia has taken to social media alleging Adelaide United fans at Coopers Stadium on Boxing Day made racist comments.

After Wednesday’s 2-2 A-League draw the Dutchman tweeted that he had heard the slurs during his 86-minute stint on the field.

Football Federation Australia has been made aware of an incident and is working closely with both clubs and Adelaide Venue Management to determine what occurred.

“FFA condemns any form of racist or non-inclusive remarks and will not tolerate it at any time,” the organisation said, via a statement.

Last month a Wanderers fan was ejected from a game for directing a racist comment towards Brisbane goalkeeper Jamie Young, who is of Sri Lankan and Scottish descent.
