MONTREAL – CF Montreal has banned two fans and suspended benefits for a supporter section after a Major League Soccer investigation into antisemitic language directed at New England Revolution forward Dor Turgeman.
Montreal said in a statement Saturday it co-operated with the league’s investigation stemming from an Aug. 1 game at Stade Saputo.
Two people were banned for throwing objects and violating the MLS Fan Code of Conduct, the club said.
CF Montreal also suspended all official supporter group privileges for Saturday’s game against D-C United, and said privileges for the supporter section identified in the investigation were suspended indefinitely.
“Antisemitism, racism, and hate of any kind have no place at CF Montreal, Stade Saputo, or within our community,” the club said in the statement.
The team also stated it will keep trying to identify people involved and will permanently bar from club events anyone who participated in antisemitic chants, or discriminatory behaviour of any kind.
“CF Montréal has engaged with local Jewish community organizations and welcomes their continued input as the club continues to strengthen its anti-discrimination initiatives through expanded in-stadium education and awareness efforts, engaging directly with supporters, and enhancing security measures,” the club said.
