Valencia CF Sues Netflix Over ‘Baila, Vini’ for Alleged Violation of Club’s Honor

The filing follows Netflix’s refusal to change subtitles that the club says misrepresent Mestalla’s chants.

Overview

  • Valencia CF filed a civil suit in a Valencia court against Netflix and producer Conspiraçao Filmes alleging an intrusion on the club’s right to honor.
  • The complaint centers on a TikTok clip in the documentary that shows the word “mono” in subtitles despite the stadium’s predominant chant being “tonto,” according to the club.
  • The club seeks financial compensation, corrections to the contested subtitles, and the inclusion of the judge’s eventual ruling within the film.
  • Valencia says Netflix declined earlier written requests to edit the documentary, replying that nothing would be changed.
  • Context from the 2023 match: three supporters were identified and later convicted for racially aggravated offenses, receiving eight-month prison terms and stadium bans.
