Anti-Violence Commission Seeks Monthlong Closure of Sevilla’s Stadium With €120,000 Fine

Police evidence from the Nov. 30 derby underpins the move.

Overview

  • The National Police’s OND dossier describes numerous objects thrown onto the pitch and flags linked to radical groups, including Biris Norte and Bukaneros.
  • The derby was briefly suspended after lighters and bottles were launched from the north end in the final minutes.
  • A full-end tifo marking Biris Norte’s 50th anniversary did not match the design Sevilla had submitted for approval, and ultras later claimed authorship on social media.
  • The commission also proposed fines of €40,000 for Sevilla and €30,000 for Betis over security failures at open training sessions where flares and smoke canisters were used.
  • These proposed penalties come on top of last week’s FEF order for a three-match partial closure of the north stand and a €45,000 fine, as police continue investigating a pre-match street fight referenced on banners.
