The All India Football Federation: The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has strongly condemned alleged racist behaviour during a recent Indian Super League (ISL) clash, reiterating its strict stance against discrimination and confirming that the matter has been referred to its Disciplinary Committee for investigation.
The controversy emerged following an ISL match between Kerala Blasters FC and Bengaluru FC at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium on Sunday, where a viral video appeared to show a fan directing racist remarks at Kerala Blasters defender Fallou Ndiaye. The clip quickly spread across social media, triggering widespread criticism and concern over player safety and fan behaviour in Indian football.
In an official statement released on Tuesday, the AIFF said it had received complaints regarding alleged racist conduct directed at players during the ongoing ISL 2025–26 season. The federation stated that it stands firmly with players and all individuals who deserve to participate in football without facing discrimination.
