In a statement sent to CNN, FIFA said it has “made important steps towards greater diversity” since reforms began in 2016 and said it currently had staff from 100 different countries, 40% of which were female.įIFA, global soccer’s governing body, also supported Lukaku’s call for governments to get involved, saying education in schools was the first measure in its five-step plan to tackle racism in soccer. Lukaku also called for “more diversity in positions of power” at the top of soccer. So then I say governments also have to start getting involved in that stuff, which doesn’t happen enough for me.” “I think you have to also attack that because a lot of players online get a lot of stuff said to them which is not nice. “For me, it really doesn’t happen enough, really in a strict manner that fans come to the stands and really respect people of different colors, people of different religions, sexuality, also online hate. “That’s the thing that rubs me the wrong way because I always say, if we want the brand of football to be representative in this way, it also starts with the people above that have to fight against this type of thing. has been racially abused in La Liga on several occasions over the past two seasons. “It’s really disappointing that it happens because we’re in 2023, the world is different cultures, different religions, different people of color and still we make the same mistakes all the time,” Lukaku added. Lukaku says the idea would be for many of the world’s most prominent players “to come together and speak with UEFA and FIFA” directly, as well as the governing bodies for domestic leagues, about how best to tackle the ongoing “problem” of racism in the game. “I think it will start,” Lukaku told CNN’s Senior Sports Analyst Darren Lewis when asked whether players could form a union. Lukaku, who was racially abused when Inter Milan played against Juventus in April, said he watched the situation at Valencia’s Mestalla Stadium unfold from his home and was left incredulous that these incidents continue to occur so frequently. during Real Madrid’s match against Valencia last month. Speaking exclusively to CNN, Lukaku says authorities are currently not doing enough to protect players in the wake of yet more racist abuse aimed at Vinícius Jr. Additionally, Antarctica has about 10 unofficial time zones.Inter Milan and Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku says the world’s top soccer stars could form a union to tackle racist abuse in the sport.

One such example is India, the thought it is an extensive territory, it observes only a single time zone like China does. Majority of the countries, in particular, the smaller ones, comprise of only one time zone but there are about 23 countries that have at least two time zones and France has the maximum of all i.e. They deeply studied the movement of the Earth and finally came up with around 24 time zones that have been theoretically drawn onto the world map. The scientists introduced the time zones with a difference of 15 degrees that denoted the variance of about one hour in the average solar time. The actual borders that have been drawn on the time zone map hardly show coordination with 15-degree borders and adhere to the external and internal borders. Additionally, the IDL or International Date Line leads to the creation of three more. In the late 19th century a method to subdivide the world into several time zones was introduced by a group of scientists. The logical answer to this question is that there are about 24 time zones as there exist 24 hours and also the time earth takes to complete one rotation is 24 hrs. This would, however, be true only if the time zones were an hour apart but this is not the case, as there are several time zones that are on 30-45 minutes offset and thus increasing the total number of time zones.
