Loudoun United apologizes, promises change after investigation into Segra Field racial abuse

Multiple spectators at a Loudoun United soccer match last month in Leesburg violated the second-division club’s fan code of conduct, but an investigation into alleged racial epithets targeting a visiting player failed to identify the individuals who took part.

The investigation launched after Mandela Egbo, captain of New York Red Bulls II, an MLS developmental squad, wrote on Twitter that a teammate was subjected to “monkey chants” during a May 18 game at Segra Field. Two Red Bulls players corroborated Egbo’s statement, according to the investigation conducted by Loudoun United and the United Soccer League.
