RB Leipzig Condemns Racist Abuse Targeting Loïs Openda

The club has expressed outrage and pledged full support for the striker after he received online abuse following a Bundesliga match.

RB Leipzig striker Loïs Openda was subjected to racist comments on social media after the team's 2-0 victory over FC St. Pauli.
The abuse followed Openda's substitution in the 73rd minute, continuing a difficult period for the player, who has not scored in nine consecutive matches in 2025.
The 24-year-old Belgian player, who has Moroccan roots, has been struggling with his form, adding to the personal toll of the abuse.
RB Leipzig issued a strong statement condemning the racist attacks as 'disgusting, infuriating, and saddening,' reaffirming their commitment to supporting Openda and fighting discrimination.
The club emphasized its stance against racism and called for collective efforts to combat all forms of hate and discrimination in sports.
