UEFA has appointed a disciplinary investigator to review allegations AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was the target of racist abuse targeting his family s Balkan roots during Thursday s Europa League match against Red Star Belgrade in Serbia.
The Associated Press reported Tuesday that Red Star Belgrade could face discipline from UEFA, which holds home clubs responsible for incidents at their stadiums. The Serbian side didn t have ticketed fans for the fixture, but club officials and other guests were allowed in the stands.
Red Star issued an apology Friday, saying the club would work to identify the man shown on video shouting a derogatory term used toward Muslims at Ibrahimovic:

Goal. “I’m not necessarily from Singapore originally, but I classify myself as Singaporean.
“My parents both grew up in India and met in college. They then got jobs in Hong Kong, and they migrated and lived there for around 11 years. Singapore is my home, definitely. I feel most comfortable here, but I’m not your regular Singaporean kid, because I went to an international school and I wasn’t born here. Singapore means everything to me, it’s my home, but probably not the same way a local would feel because I don’t have ancestors here. It’s all I know, though.
