It was reported that Tabriz Tractor, the largest football team of Turks in Iran and the one with the most supporters, withdrew from the field during the away match against Malavan due to "racist chants."
THEY LEFT THE FIELD DUE TO RACIST SLOGANS
According to a statement on the official website of Tractor Football Club, before the Malavan-Tractor football match at Sirus Kayikran Stadium in Anzali, Tractor players withdrew from the match due to the "racist slogans" of Malavan fans in the stands.
IF THEY ARE CONSIDERED DEFEATED, THEY WILL WITHDRAW FROM THE LEAGUE
In his statement on the matter, Tractor Chairman Mohammad Reza Zenozi reacted to the racist slogans. Zenozi said that if the match is registered as a 3-0 loss against Tractor, they will withdraw from the league. Iranian Chairman Zenozi said, "Unfortunately, the ugliest slogans were chanted in the stands against our players, the Tractor team, and other matters. I have always been in favor of unity and I do not want to see such things because of football. However, it is not possible to ignore these insults made collectively."
CALL TO THE FEDERATION
Zenozi, who called on the federation as the owner of Tractor Club, stated that the federation should intervene in the matter fairly without paying attention to pressures and prevent such incidents.
