Vinícius Júnior: how Spanish law is starting to tackle racism and what else it could do

Retrieved on:

Monday, July 10, 2023

There are also continuing allegations of racist abuse in Spanish football.

Key Points:

There are also continuing allegations of racist abuse in Spanish football.
Spain of course is not the only country where football is plagued by racism.

Legal sanctions

Yet La Liga, which has now reportedly lodged ten complaints against fans, regarding racism experienced by Vinícius Júnior, cannot impose sanctions itself.
But very few such administrative sanctions are proposed and fewer still are actually imposed.
According to the Commission against Violence and Racism in Sports, in 2021-22, administrative sanctions were proposed for 1,608 spectators and 59 clubs.
This latter figure represents a considerable increase from 2018-19, when only three sanctions linked to racism and xenophobia were proposed.

Denial of racism

Anti-racism charity SOS Racismo has shown racism to be present in all areas of Spanish life.
To deal with racism within football, Spain could look for inspiration from initiatives including the Europe-wide Fare network and the Feyenoord is for All campaign in the Netherlands.
Legal sanctions are not preventing racism in football.
And racism is not limited to pitches and stadiums.
