Racist comments directed at Steaua Bucarest's defender surfaced online after the 2023 season's 2-2 away tie with AFC Harmannstadt. In the 60th minute, the defender was sent off for handing the ball back, which resulted in the equaliser. He admitted after the game that he made a mistake that cost his side the win, but it did not make everyone happy.

"As a footballer who puts in a tremendous amount of work each and every day, we spoke about him; he has had an outstanding season thus far and has been doing so consistently since preseason. Life is full of mistakes; we are not to blame, Dawa. Racism is unacceptable in any setting, including athletic competitions. I'd also like to address the incident that saddened him and the rest of us."
