Madrid, 27 october 2024.-The high council of sports (CSD) vigorously condemns racist incidents that occurred this saturday at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, during the course of the match between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.

The Classic is one of the greatest shows of the world, a true expression of the importance that football is in our country. In it, as in any other sporting event, there could be no never expressions of violence, racism, xenophobia, hatred or intolerance.

The CSD considered inadmissible such attitudes, remote from the values of coexistence and respect inherent to sport, and for which it is essential for the eradication of all, especially the collaboration of clubs.

As has happened on previous occasions with other incidents, events during the course of this match will be analysed by the state commission against violence, racism, xenophobia and intolerance in sport.

This college is responsible for the formulation and implementation of active policies against violence and intolerance and for the prevention of racist practices, xenophobic and Lgtbifóbicas in sport.

The standing committee, which will meet on monday this week, is composed of representatives of the CSD, the ministry of Interior, the national police force, the Civil guard, the royal Spanish Federation of football, LaLiga and other professional leagues and the attorney General's office.
