Dutch players suffer online racist abuse after shootout loss to Morocco

Netherlands football players Justin Kluivert, Quinten Timber, and Crysencio Summerville faced online racist abuse after missing penalties in a World Cup shootout loss to Morocco. The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) stated they would report the incidents to 'Meld Online Discriminatie' (Report Online Discrimination), which could lead to legal action against those responsible. This follows similar cases where players like England's Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka, and Jadon Sancho faced abuse after missing penalties in the 2021 European Championship, resulting in arrests and convictions. The KNVB emphasized that discrimination contradicts the inclusive nature of football.
