FIFA open investigation in Spanish fans’ xenophobic chanting at Egypt friendly
April 8 – FIFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) in the wake of “Islamophobic and xenophobic” chanting during Spain’s friendly against Egypt in March’s international break.
The fixture, played at the RCDE Stadium in Barcelona, was interrupted by repeated stadium announcements urging supporters to refrain from anti-Muslim discriminatory behaviour.
A warning message was also displayed on the big screen, but was met with whistles from sections of the crowd.
