Major League Soccer (MLS) has officially initiated an investigation into reports of antisemitic and discriminatory language used by fans during a recent match in Quebec. The incident occurred on Saturday during a contest between CF Montréal and the New England Revolution at Stade Saputo.
The league’s inquiry centers on chants directed toward New England’s Israeli forward, Dor Turgeman. According to reports and broadcast footage, the atmosphere turned hostile as the striker prepared to play, with microphones capturing specific political and discriminatory phrases from the stands.
The New England Revolution issued a formal statement on Monday strongly condemning the behavior. The club characterized the chants as both antisemitic and discriminatory, emphasizing their commitment to player safety and inclusivity.
