Spain handed partial stadium closure after discriminatory chants v Egypt

Spain’s national football team has been issued a partial stadium closure for their next international friendly following an investigation into discriminatory behavior. The sanction was imposed after supporters repeatedly chanted anti-Muslim slogans during a match against Egypt on 31 March.

This disciplinary action serves as a formal response to the conduct of the crowd, highlighting ongoing efforts by governing bodies to address discriminatory behavior within international football. The closure mandates that a specific section of the stadium will remain empty for the team's upcoming home friendly match.
