Vinicius Jr., a victim of racism in the Spanish La Liga, faced multiple instances of discrimination, prompting his protests. Despite facing criticism for his actions, the Brazilian national football team rallied behind Vinicius, vehemently supporting his cause. In a powerful stand against apartheid, they played friendly matches wearing black jerseys instead of their traditional yellow.
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) orchestrated a nationwide campaign against racism within its leagues, accompanied by the impactful slogan, "There is no game with racism."
Looking ahead, Brazil has announced plans for anti-racism and awareness matches in the new year. Their upcoming game against Spain on March 26, hosted at Real's Santiago Bernabeu stadium, is set to exemplify their commitment to fighting racism on the football pitch.
