Controversy over the so-called "Asian passing" of broadcast cameras toward Asian players in the English Premier League (EPL) arose again. During Manchester City's victory ceremony, Uzbekistan's national defender Abdukodir Husanov's scene of holding the championship cup was omitted, causing public anger among fans.

Japan's "Scar Digest" said on the 23rd, "The moment of Manchester City's Uzbekistan player, a deja vu changed the screen. Fans are furious at the repeated phenomenon in England about how long they will discriminate," he reported.

Manchester City won 2-0 in the final of the "2025-2026 English Football League (EFL) Carabao Cup" against Arsenal at Wembley Stadium in London, England. As a result, Manchester City won its ninth Carabao Cup in five years since the 2020-2021 season.

However, right after the game, a frown occurred at the victory ceremony. With Manchester City players expressing joy by lifting the trophy one by one, the broadcast camera suddenly switched to a full-shot video that illuminates the stadium from above as soon as it was Husanov's turn.

The 22-year-old defender's glorious appearance, who played full season and contributed to the scoreless victory, was not well captured on the screen. Later, when he returned to the original zoomed-in relay screen, he had already moved on to Erling Holland, who was next to Husanov.

This is not the first time such a camera walk has taken place in England. Soccer Digest also mentioned the damage to Korean players as well as Japanese players. "In addition to Park Ji-sung, who played on the English stage in the past, several Asian players, including Shinji Kagawa, Shinji Okazaki, Takumi Minamino, and Wataru Endo, have been treated as similar 'passing' during the victory ceremony," the media pointed out. He then pointed out, "Maybe it's a coincidence, but can the coincidence continue like this?"

The media reported the reaction of angry fans. Currently, there have been strong criticisms against organizers and broadcasters on social media, saying, "Shine Fusanov properly," "The camera walk is definitely weird," and "How long are you going to discriminate against Asians?"
