Strong Condemnation For Racist Abuse On Santa Lucia Goalkeeper

Floriana Football Club strongly condemns and distances itself from the racist abuse directed at Santa Lucia goalkeeper Julani Archibald during yesterday’s Premier League match at the Tony Bezzina Stadium.

The Club will offer no protection to this unacceptable behaviour by one person who purchased online tickets to enter the Floriana stands.

Racist abuse goes against the values of the Club. In fact, all Floriana FC players and coaches are bound by Contract to commit themselves against racism and other discriminatory acts in football.

Under no circumstances, and irrespective of any match tension or any form of provocation, can such disgusting actions be tolerated.

Therefore, the Club officially disassociates itself from yesterday’s incident and encourages relevant authorities to take actions permitted by law against the person responsible for the racist abuse suffered by Santa Lucia goalkeeper Julani Archibald.
