The racist, dehumanising remarks against @KMbappe by Paraguayan Sen. Celeste Amarilla are despicable, regrettably not isolated.
States & sports organisations must prevent acts of racism & discrimination, and ensure independent and effective accountability. Social media must also prevent and address racial discrimination on their platforms.

Thank you for teaching a generation that talent is only the beginning. Hard work, discipline, and self-belief change everything.
Thank you for making me fall in love with the game. ❤️
One thing Cristiano Ronaldo's legacy has taught me is that it's better to lose with honor than to win by deceit. Ronaldo was never handed a World Cup the way Messi was. No matter where life takes me, Cristiano Ronaldo will always be my GOAT. 🐐
Reporter: Can you describe your phone call with Gianni Infantino about the red card? Belgium is appealing the decision.
Trump: You’re asking me about the whole soccer thing. So, yeah, I did. I spoke to Gianni.
That wasn’t a foul. That wasn’t even an infraction. That was two guys running full speed who happened to crash into each other. You can’t properly place your foot on somebody else’s foot when you’re going full speed. No, these were two great athletes who got tangled up.
And this referee, who is a little bit suspect—if you check his past. I don’t want to say that because I don’t like to create controversy, but very suspect. If you’d like, I’ll provide you with his past.
He didn’t do anything wrong, and he’s our best player, or one of our best players—a very vital player—and they gave him a red card.
I didn’t know what that meant. I didn’t think it meant much. Then I started hearing that it means you can’t play in the next game, at least in the next game.
I said, “Boy, that’s a big—” You know, if it happened to another player, it would have been unfair, but when they take your best player—or just about; they have some great players—and say you can’t play, that’s very unfair.
That’s one thing, to penalize somebody for the game. But how do you penalize them for a game that hasn’t been played yet? It’s very unfair. You can’t do that.
So, yes, I asked for a review by FIFA. I spoke to a man who is highly respected, and by the way, whose level of respect has gone up tenfold.
On 30/06/2026, I was officially inducted into the medical profession.
I am honoured to begin this new chapter as:
