Juventus has apologized after a tweet was posted on its women's team's official account showing a player making a racist gesture towards Asian people.
"Juventus has always been against racism and discrimination," it added, with a "DifferencesMakeTheDifference" hashtag.
"Juventus immediately realized that the Club had committed an unforgivable mistake, and this mistake has seriously hurt the feelings of all people who oppose racial discrimination," the club said in a Friday statement posted on its website.
