Juventus youngsters banned for 'seriously offensive' Napoli chant | OneFootball

Twenty-five Juventus U15 players have been handed a one-match ban after a video of them insulting Napoli was posted to Instagram.

The footage was shot after the Juve youngsters won 3-0 against Napoli to reach the final for the Scudetto back in June.

In the video, the Bianconeri players can be heard chanting “We have one dream, that Napoli will use some soap” in the dressing room after the match.

Juventus immediately launched an internal investigation and even offered to forfeit the final, which they eventually lost to Inter Milan anyway.

And now the Federal Tribunal has decided that all 25 players will be banned for a game for making a “seriously offensive chant against their opponents, their fans and the city of Naples.”

Only a handful of players will therefore be available for their next game against Carpi, meaning they may have to draft a number of U14 players in to help.

There is a fierce rivalry between Juventus and Napoli supporters and in October, part of the Curva Sud at the Allianz Stadium was closed for a match after fans made discriminatory chants during a first-team game against Napoli.
