Valencia CF Opens Disciplinary Case Over Racist Abuse by Mestalla Season-Ticket Holder

Published audio prompted the step, triggering the club’s internal sanctioning protocol.

Overview

  • The club confirmed it has opened a disciplinary expediente after reports of repeated racist insults from a fan in sector 5, row 13 at Mestalla.
  • Legal and security teams have gathered available evidence, including audio recordings, as part of the internal process.
  • Possible sanctions under consideration include withdrawing the season ticket or banning access to the stadium.
  • The supporter may submit a defense before Valencia issues a final decision, which the club indicates will come in the next few days.
  • A separate complaint has been with Valencia’s Hate Prosecutor since October 29, and reporting says the club and LaLiga were aware before the media published the audio.
