U.S. midfielder Weston McKennie was reportedly targeted with racist abuse after Juventus secured a 2-0 season-opening win over Parma in Serie A, the Italian club said Sunday.

Juventus said in a social media statement that McKennie faced “discriminatory racist remarks by individuals in the away section” while warming down with teammates on the pitch.

“Juventus strongly condemns this incident and any form of racism, and will ensure full cooperation with the sporting justice authorities to identify those responsible,” the club added.

McKennie, who joined Juventus in 2020, came on as a late substitute in the Turin match, where Canadian forward Jonathan David scored in his Serie A debut for the club.

In 2023, Fiorentina faced a suspended partial stadium ban after fans directed racist and discriminatory chants at McKennie and other Juventus players. Sunday’s incident adds to a growing list of racism allegations in European football.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino last week described alleged racist abuse in German Cup games as “unacceptable,” including incidents involving Schalke’s Christopher Antwi-Adjei and a Kaiserslautern substitute. Separately, British police arrested a spectator on suspicion of racially abusing Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo during a Premier League match on Aug. 16.
