21 September 2026
A Sevilla supporter is due to stand trial over alleged racist abuse directed at Vinicius Junior during a 2023 match against Real Madrid. Spanish prosecutors are seeking one year and nine months in prison on a charge of violating moral integrity.
The indictment alleges the supporter repeatedly directed racist insults and gestures at Vinicius from the stands. Sevilla identified and expelled the fan during the match, while La Liga filed complaints with football and anti-violence authorities.
