Summary

During a Spain-Egypt football match at RCDA stadium in Barcelona, racist incidents overshadowed the game when Spanish fans engaged in discriminatory behavior. The most notable incident involved chants of 'who does not jump is a Muslim' directed at the opposing team, along with disrespectful behavior during Egypt's national anthem. Spanish star Lamine Yamal, who is Muslim, took to Instagram to address the situation directly. In his post, Yamal acknowledged that while the chants were directed at the opposing team and not personally at him, as a Muslim, he found them disrespectful and unforgivable. He emphasized that not all supporters behave this way, but condemned those who use religion as a tool for mockery in stadiums, calling them ignorant and racist. Yamal stressed that football should be about enjoyment and encouragement, not disrespecting people based on their identity or beliefs. The incidents created a charged atmosphere from the beginning of the match, with Spanish fans also making disruptive sounds during Egypt's national anthem. Despite attempts by Spanish officials to stop the chants through loudspeakers and game screens, the racist behavior continued. Spain's coach Luis de la Fuente addressed the situation at a press conference, expressing absolute repulsion against any racist or disrespectful attitudes, emphasizing that such violence needs to be eliminated from both football and society. The Egyptian Football Association also issued a statement fully condemning the racist events and the disrespect shown toward Egypt's national anthem.
