Proposals for sanctions by the Standing Committee of the State Commission against Violence, Racism, Xenophobia and Intolerance in Sport

Madrid, 26 May 2025.- The Standing Committee of the State Commission against Violence, Racism, Xenophobia and Intolerance in Sport, meeting this Wednesday at the headquarters of the Higher Sports Council (CSD), in relation to the recent judgment of the Provincial Court of Valladolid, which condemns those accused of insulting the player of Real Madrid Vinicius Junior, wants to state that such a judicial decision comes to corroborate the commitment of the institutions involved in the eradication of racist conducts in the field of sport.

In this sense, the conviction of the five accused of insulting the Real Madrid player reflects that racism has no place in sport and, from the institutions, work tirelessly to purge the responsibilities of the authors of such conducts in all possible ways: disciplinary, administrative and judicial.

To this latest sentence for the racist insults committed in the José Zorrilla stadium, add the one of June 10, 2024 that sentenced three individuals to 8 months in prison and two years of prohibition of entry to the sports venues for insults to Vinicius Jr. in the match held in Mestalla on May 21, 2022; the conviction of eight months in prison to an individual for writing attacks and racist insults directed to the players Vinicius Jr. and Antonio Rüdiger through the digital forum of a sports newspaper; and, also, the sentence of one year in prison and the prohibition of the Mokus.

Also, it has been agreed to declare of High Risk the parties:

  • Real Racing Club de Santander – Granada CF, corresponding to the 42nd day of the Second Division.
  • Deportivo de La Coruña – Elche CF, corresponding to the 42nd day of Second Division.

The following proposals for sanctions have also been approved:
