Spain’s Anti-Violence Commission Proposes One-Month Closure of Alavés’ Stadium Over Ultra Murals

The case hinges on exterior murals that officials say promote the Iraultza 1921 supporters group.

Overview

  • The commission recommended a €60,001 fine and a month-long shutdown of Mendizorroza, with the proposal now moving through the sanctioning process.
  • The escalation followed an October 28 proposal of €40,000 after the imagery remained visible despite red “censored” crosses that officials deemed inadequate.
  • Iraultza said it removed its identifying references from the murals on Thursday and shared before-and-after images on Friday.
  • Alavés has argued that work on the stadium exterior falls to the Vitoria-Gasteiz city council and later pledged to preserve the murals as club heritage while filing formal objections.
  • In related decisions, the commission proposed a €75,000 fine to Osasuna over a banned supporter listed for the Oviedo match and designated several upcoming games as high risk.
