FIFA president Gianni Infantino has urged Italian football authorities to hand out stadium bans for supporters guilty of racism after another incident in a Serie A match between Atalanta and Fiorentina on Sunday.

The play was briefly suspended after Fiore’s Brazilian wing-back Dalbert reportedly told referee Daniele Orsato he had been the target of racist abuse from fans at the Stadio Ennio Tardini in Parma, where Atlanta are based while their ground is revamped.

An announcement was read over the stadium loudspeaker urging supporters to stop and the game, which finished 2-2, then continued, but Infantino believes the problem must be taken more seriously.

Italy has been a hotbed of racist abuse directed at players over the years. Ghanaian Sulley Muntari and Italian Moise Kean have been victims of racist chants in the past and Inter Milan’s Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku also suffered alleged racist abuse from a section of Cagliari fans this season.
