FIBA Bans Fan After Racist Abuse of Germany’s Dennis Schröder at EuroBasket

The German federation issued a formal denunciation following the 107:88 win over Lithuania in Tampere.

Overview

  • Schröder said spectators directed monkey noises at him during halftime, calling the behavior unacceptable in a MagentaSport interview.
  • Venue security ejected two individuals during the game after German staff alerted officials.
  • FIBA Europe used security-camera images to identify the person responsible and barred them from all remaining EuroBasket matches.
  • DBB president Ingo Weiss condemned the insults as intolerable and said the federation will press organizers to prevent further incidents.
  • Schröder later posted “STOPPT RASSISMUS!” on Instagram and received public support from interim coach Alan Ibrahimagić and teammate Isaac Bonga as Germany sealed a round-of-16 berth.
