Race attendance in Germany is now prohibited by the country's Federation.

Dennis Schröder, the 31-year-old German national team captain, has experienced a disturbing incident during a Eurobasket game against Lithuania. In the aftermath of Germany's 107-88 win in Tampere, Schröder reported monkey chants as part of the racist abuse he faced from opposing fans.

The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) has taken swift action to address the issue. In an interview with MagentaSport, Schröder stated that he does not respect or accept monkey chants as part of the sport, and he cannot accept racism in sports.

FIBA has identified the person responsible for the racist abuse and has issued a ban, preventing them from attending any remaining games in EuroBasket 2025. The organisation aims to support efforts to prevent similar incidents in the future.

The German coaching staff alerted security about monkey noises from Lithuanian fans at halftime, and two individuals were ejected from the arena during the game.

FIBA has provided relevant footage and information to authorities regarding the incident. However, the suspect banned by FIBA from all further EuroBasket 2025 games due to the racism incident has not been clearly identified in the provided search results.

In response to the incident, FIBA will contact the Lithuanian team delegation to inform them of the situation. The organisation has stated that it does not tolerate racism and stands with Schröder and the German team in condemning such behaviour.

Schröder's courage in speaking out against the racist abuse is commendable and serves as a reminder that such behaviour has no place in sports or society. FIBA's swift action in banning the suspect and their commitment to preventing similar incidents in the future are encouraging signs of progress in the fight against racism.
