Sulley Muntari claims Fifa and Uefa ‘don’t care’ about racism after he was sent off for asking referee to call game off

Former Portsmouth midfielder Sulley Muntari has accused Fifa and Uefa for not caring about racism in football.

The Ghanaian, who now plays in Italy for Pescara, was sent off for leaving the pitch during a game on April 30 after claiming he was racially abused. In an interview with the BBC, the 32-year-old claimed he had been "treated like a criminal" after the incident. "I went off the field because I felt it wasn't right for me to be on the field while I have been racially abused," he explained. Muntari had asked referee Daniele Minelli to stop the Serie A game away at Cagliari, only to be booked for dissent. This prompted him to leave the pitch in protest, which saw him receive a second yellow card.
