Social media abuse in German soccer follows alleged racist incidents in stadiums
MAINZ, Germany (AP) — As German soccer investigates two incidents in which players were allegedly subjected to racist abuse by fans in the stadium, more players have faced abusive messages online. The day after its 1-0 win in a German Cup game against Dynamo Dresden, Mainz said Tuesday it plans to support its players in taking legal action against users who sent abusive messages. The club published screenshots of a racist message targeting French winger Arnaud Nordin, who is Black, and one containing sexist and xenophobic insults aimed at the mother of German midfielder Nadiem Amiri, who is of Afghan heritage. There are 'no more words for people like this,' Amiri, who scored the game's only goal, wrote over a screenshot of the message. 'There is no place among us for racism, agitation and hate on the Internet, in the stadium, or anywhere else,' Mainz wrote. In another incident, Rot-Weiss Essen disabled the comment section on an Instagram post about its 1-0 loss Monday to Borussia Dortmund, reportedly following repeated racist messages aimed at its player Kelsey Owusu, following a tackle which left Dortmund's Yan Couto hurt. 'I find it so despicable, some of the comments which are directed at people,' his coach Uwe Koschinat said after the game. The German soccer federation said Monday it was investigating two incidents in which players were allegedly subjected to racist abuse by people in the stadium during other German Cup games. FIFA President Gianni Infantino condemned the incidents as 'unacceptable'. Police were investigating at least one of the incidents. ___

Mainz to sign Montpellier winger Arnaud Nordin
Mainz are closing in on signing Montpellier winger Arnaud Nordin (26), reports . An agreement is reportedly close to being reached between all parties. Nordin will be out of contract next June. The former France U21 international was not part of Jean-Louis Gasset's Montpellier matchday squad on Sunday with La Paillade clinching a second consecutive Ligue 1 win against Toulouse FC. The former Ivory Coast national team manager confirmed that Nordin was on his way out. Minor details still need to be ironed out between Mainz and Montpellier before the Ligue 1 club allows Nordin to fly out to Germany and undergo his medical. Nordin joined Montpellier from Saint-Etienne on a free transfer in 2022. He has logged 19 goals and 10 assists in 75 games played with Montpellier. The outlet understands that Nordin was the subject of interest from English and French clubs as well as Mainz's Bundesliga rivals Borussia Mönchengladbach. GFFN | Bastien Cheval
