Top Italian soccer league adopts IHRA definition of anti-Semitism

November 3, 2021

Italy’s premier soccer league, Serie A, has agreed to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of anti-Semitism.

It made the announcement at a conference called “The Fight Against Anti-Semitism in Football: European Agreements,” the Italian-language Jewish publication Moked reported on Sunday. The event was held at the soccer league’s headquarters and led by Milena Santerini, Italy’s national coordinator against anti-Semitism.

At the meeting, she and Italy’s National Office Against Racial Discrimination recommended that Serie A teams incorporate the IHRA definition in their regulations and implement national strategies proposed by Santerini to tackle anti-Semitism.
