CONMEBOL has rebuked FIFA’s chief of global development Arsene Wenger for suggesting Africa’s infrastructure is inadequate for talent development and that Europe is the only continent where rising stars can reach full potential.
The governing body for South American football said on Tuesday it had sent a letter to world football’s governing body to “condemn the very unfortunate expressions of the high FIFA officer.”
Wenger, the high-profile former Arsenal manager, said while speaking at the International Coaching Conference in Freiburg, Germany, in May that if French striker Kylian Mbappe “had been born in Cameroon, he wouldn’t have become the striker he is today.”
“There’s Europe and there’s rest of the world,” Wenger added. “The latter needs help, otherwise we’re going to miss a great deal of talent.”
CONMEBOL said frequently in its response that the “most objectionable prejudices are disguised as reasoned and intelligent reflections.”
“Wenger’s words, beyond showing an unusual ignorance about the valuable input of African players in world soccer, and particularly in Europe, show a denigrating twist that hides the effort of footballers and sporting institutions that are not in Europe,” the CONMEBOL statement said.
“Just like Africans, we South Americans know first hand that kind of behavior that comes from the belief that the world begins and ends in Europe.”
FIFA did not immediately respond a request for comment from The Associated Press.
CONMEBOL also criticised FIFA’s unilateral decision to allow five replacements per team per game instead of the current three. It said the move “took place without a process of consultations and debate.”
