Napoli set to boycott Serie A anti-racism campaign this weekend

Napoli are set to boycott and avoid the anti-racism campaign by the Serie A in the upcoming games this weekend.

Francesco Acerbi was acquitted by the Serie A and the prosecutors earlier today in the racism scandal, despite Napoliโ€™s Juan Jesus stating that he was racially abused by the defender.

La Gazzetta dello Sport state that Napoli arenโ€™t happy with the decision and they are angered at what has happened. As a result, the club will not take part in any activities that are carried out to promote Serie Aโ€™s anti-racism message, which was also promoted in the previous gameweek.

It is stated that these actions from Napoli will not put the club at risk of a sanction or fine from the Serie A. Having said that, a Coppa Italia match will not start if Napoli do not adhere to the campaign and the players do not wear the required armbands.ย
