Football’s  governing body FIFA has criticised Falcons coach Eucharia Uche for branding homosegxwality as ‘dirty’ and admitting she forced lesbians out of her team. “FIFA is against all forms of discrimination,” Tatjana Haenni, FIFA’s head of women’s competitions, told German television channel ARD.

Haenni said FIFA will be talking to Uche about her comments and reminded the coach of the governing bodies statutes. In a mission statement, FIFA says it wants to use the sport in ‘overcoming social and cultural obstacles for women with the ultimate aim of improving women’s standing in society’.



“We are here at a FIFA event and will point out that it would be best to express oneself neutrally,” said Haenni. Uche sparked controversy in a New York Times interview ahead of the women’s World Cup, which started last Sunday, in which she called homosegxwality ‘dirty’ and insisted it was ‘spiritually and morally very wrong’.  Uche said she  removed lesbians from the Falcons.

“Yes, the lesbians in our team were really a big problem,” she said having taken over as coach in 2009. “But since I’m coach of the Super Falcons, that has been cleared up.“There are no more lesbian players in my team.“I can not tolerate this dirty life.” Germany reserve goalkeeper Ursula Holl is married to a woman and first-choice shot-stopper Nadine Angerer is openly bisegxwal.

But is highly against FIFA Statues and Laws. Even if she wants to do away with that, she shouldn't come out so bold at the media.. She might end up paying for the rules and regulations she failed to keep. Is a kinda discrimination on sports which FIFA is kicking against.

Bros, I wonder why u choose and find it appropriate to call me "idiot", just because I aired my views? If it offends u, sorry. I did not direct my statement to you or any particular person. I only and will only preach Tolerance, between gays and non-gays, christians and muslims, blacks and whites, etc. This is a preaching by some western people used to help Africans countries Fight against Apartheid in South Africa, fight Against Racism, Fight Against Blacks, Fight Against Slavery in Northern America, Fight Against the killings everywhere, Fight Against Gay Haters, and its still being used till today. Thanks
