There will be no action taken against Jadon Sancho, Achraf Hakimi, Weston McKennie and Marcus Thuram, the German Football Association has confirmed.
The German Fotball Association (DFB) will not sanction Jadon Sancho, Achraf Hakimi, Weston McKennie and Marcus Thuram for showing support for George Floyd, who was killed in police custody in Minneapolis last week.
"It goes without saying that the DFB's control body always has FIFA and DFB regulations in mind. In this specific case, however, these are deliberate actions of anti-racism by the players, who are thus campaigning for the very values which the DFB seeks to uphold. So no action will be taken now, nor in the case of further anti-racism demonstrations over coming weeks," said Anton Nachreiner, chairman of the DFB’s control body, in agreement with DFB President for Legal Affairs Rainer Koch.
DFB president Fritz Keller said:
"I welcome the far-sighted decision from the DFB's control body and am very pleased with it. The DFB is opposed to all forms of racism, discrimination and violence, and stands for tolerance, openness and diversity - all values that are also deeply engrained with the DFB statutes. That's why the players' actions have our respect and understanding."

3 weeks ago good decision by DFB because they understand all that action by player is just to show their support against any violence,discrimination or racists that not welcome into the society.. what just happened in America should not be repeated in any country around the world..we will not tolerate with any kind of action that against the law and humanity..we all live under the same sun..

They better not, even if they wanted to they could never do that. Can you imagine sanctioning these lads who’s supporting the fight against racism? DFB would be in loads of racism afflictions. SAY NO TO RACISM ✊🏻✊🏿
