"What we've done is condemn these kinds of attitudes and to say they must not be repeated, said Rafael Louzan, president of RFEF. He called them specific and isolated situations."
"It's intolerable, he told reporters as soon as he sat down in the media room. Violent people use football to carve out a space for themselves. They must be removed from society, identified, and kept as far away as possible."
During a pre-World Cup friendly in Barcelona, racist and anti-Muslim chants disrupted the match between Spain and Egypt, which ended in a 0-0 draw. The Royal Spanish Football Federation and coach Luis de la Fuente condemned the behavior of some fans, who jeered Egypt's national anthem. The RFEF president described these incidents as specific and isolated, while de la Fuente called for the removal of violent individuals from society. The match was played in a tense atmosphere, with Spain preparing for upcoming World Cup matches.
