Getafe Fans Under Fire for Racist Chanting During Sevilla Match

Getafe fans faced strong criticism after racist chanting was heard during their match against Sevilla prompting the game to be temporarily halted. The chants targeted Sevilla Marcos Acuna with Sevilla coach Quique Sanchez Flores also reporting insults directed at him and his staff.

This incident reflects broader concerns about racism in Spanish football, particularly following previous incidents involving players like Vinicius Junior. Both Sanchez Flores and Real Madrid Sergio Ramos emphasized the importance of respect in football and the need to address such behavior.

Referees are instructed to stop matches in response to racist chanting as was the case during this match. Getafe may face repercussions from La Liga for the incident, pending the league’s investigation into crowd behavior. Their next match is against Rayo Vallecano on April 13.
