United defender cleared of racism...

Leeds United is pleased to note the decision of the FA disciplinary panel to clear our defender, Giuseppe Bellusci, of all charges of racism made against him during the away game against Norwich City on 21 October 2014.

Giuseppe has made it clear from the moment the incident happened that he did not use racist language, and the FA commission has found that to be the case.

Leeds United is a fully inclusive organisation and through the efforts of the Leeds United Foundation aims to work with every aspect of our community by celebrating diversity and recognising cultural differences.

The club is proud to work with many areas of society to improve social cohesion and social mobility and has strong partnerships with community groups including the Chapeltown Youth Football Development Centre and the Hamara Centre in Beeston.

Leeds has a diverse, multicultural community and we are committed to supporting everyone who can benefit from a link with our football club.
