After the match UEFA Delegate really told FC Dynamo Kyiv representatives that Chelsea FC officials addressed to him to inform that player Hudson-Odoi heard monkey chants in the second half.
FC Dynamo Kyiv representatives clearly took the heed that this information needs to be checked in terms of real proofs demonstrating any unacceptable behavior, especially considering that if such acts really happened, the player was supposed to address to referee at once according to UEFA regulations. Moreover, FC Dynamo Kyiv still don’t have any proofs that abovementioned chants really happened.
Despite that, FC Dynamo Kyiv conducted immediate investigation. The video of supporters’ behavior in the sector mentioned by Chelsea FC player was thoroughly analyzed. No signs of discrimination have been discovered.
Moreover, according to reports of UEFA officials received on March 18 2019, neither the match Delegate nor UEFA Security officers (two of them were present at this game), referee, referee observer or even FARE observer heard abovementioned chants.
No to racism – that’s one of the key priorities of FC Dynamo Kyiv work. We totally share the principle of zero tolerance to any kinds of discrimination at the stadium and outside it.
