- Valencia CF has activated its internal protocol, compiling audio evidence and reviewing recent matches, with possible sanctions including revoking the pass or imposing a stadium ban.
- Published audios attribute months of racist and homophobic slurs to a season‑ticket holder seated in sector 5, row 13, after LaLiga observers previously reported insufficient punishable material.
