The Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon have accused the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) of racism in the application of VAR after they crashed out at the ongoing Women’s World Cup holding in France.
The Lionesses were beaten 3-0 by England in the Round of 16 knock-out stage of the competition.
England’s striker, Ellen White’s second goal during first half injury time was ruled offside by Chinese referee, Qin Liang and then overturned using the VAR system.
Cameroon players furiously claimed Nikita Parris, who was offside was part of the play despite her standing on the left side of the pitch and not touching the ball.
VAR replays were not shown on big screens inside the stadium although ‘normal’ replays were, some of which seemed to indicate to the Cameroon players that they were being unfairly treated.
Half time was called moments later with the BBC’s Gabby Logan saying the Cameroonians had burst into tears in the tunnel and accused the world’s soccer ruling body of racism.
