UEFA is probing new Italian football federation (FIGC)
president Carlo Tavecchio over an alleged racist remark, Europe's
ruling football body said on Wednesday.
Tavecchio, 71, is suspected to have made a racist remark in
connection with foreign players in the country in summer during his
presidential campaign. He later apologized and was elected FIGC
president last week.
Football's ruling body FIFA requested a FIGC investigation and UEFA
is now also looking into the matter.
UEFA said in a statement that Tavecchio "has today been personally
informed about the decision of its Chief Ethics and Disciplinary
Inspector to open a disciplinary investigation on alleged racist
comments made by him during his FIGC presidential election campaign.

"Once the report has been completed, the UEFA Chief Ethics and
Disciplinary Inspector will submit its conclusions to the Control,
Ethics and Disciplinary Body to render a decision about this matter."
