Yaya Toure concerned about racism problems ahead of World Cup

The 34-year-old says he has fears that the tournament might be ruined by racists and has offered to help curb this ahead of next year’s showpiece

Yaya Toure disclosed he has concerns about racism ahead of the 2018 Fifa World Cup Russia.

The Manchester City powerhouse was on the receiving end of racists chants by fans of CSKA Moscow in a Uefa Champions League game earlier this season which led to a Fifa charge and partial closure of the stadium.

And the former Cote d'Ivoire international wants Fifa to be proactive in nipping racism in the bud and has also offered to lend his support to the cause.
