FIFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against the Royal Spanish Football Federation after anti‑Muslim chants erupted during Spain’s friendly with Egypt. The incident, captured at RCDE Stadium in Barcelona, saw supporters shout “If you don’t jump, you’re a Muslim.” Video evidence and reports from the referee, match inspector and security team sealed the case for the governing body today and action.

Barcelona star Lamine Yamal, who helped Spain lift Euro 2024, was hit hard by the chants. The 18‑year‑old, a practicing Muslim with Moroccan and Equatorial Guinean roots, posted on Instagram, calling the insults “disrespectful and intolerable.” RFEF president Rafael Louzán and coach Luis de la Fuente condemned the behaviour, warning that football should unite, not divide for all fans today.

Police from the Mossos are also probing the chants, while FIFA threatens fines and stadium closures. The case underscores the sport’s ongoing battle against racism and religious intolerance. With the World Cup approaching, Spain’s image and squad cohesion hang in the balance. The federation’s response will signal how seriously the governing bodies treat such violations by upholding integrity today again.
