[Saba Sports News] According to Italian media reports, three Parma fans who used racially abusive language towards Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie during the Serie A opening match between Juventus and Parma on August 24 have been identified and penalized. Juventus Club stated in an official announcement: “During the Juventus vs. Parma match on August 24, 2025, the behavior of some away fans prompted the club to take corresponding measures in accordance with the ‘Code of Conduct.’ Juventus strongly and unequivocally condemns this serious incident and any form of racism. The club has imposed penalties based on the Code of Conduct against those responsible, banning the penalized individuals from entering any Juventus Club-organized match venues or training facilities.” Under this penalty, the three Parma fans are banned from entering Juventus’s home stadium in Turin. Juventus noted that this is not the first time such measures have been taken: similar “entry bans” were previously imposed on offending fans following matches against Roma on December 30, 2023, and against Torino on November 9, 2024, in accordance with the Code of Conduct.
