Persekutuan Bola Sepak Sepanyol (RFEF) akan mengemukakan rayuan kepada Mahkamah Timbang Tara Sukan (CAS) berhubung hukuman denda yang diberikan oleh Persekutuan Bolasepak Antarabangsa (FIFA) baru-baru ini.
FIFA mengenakan denda sebanyak $20,000 (RM81,664) dan mengarahkan agar sekurang-kurangnya 15 peratus daripada tempat duduk penyokong ditutup bagi aksi persahabatan di laman sendiri akan datang.
Perkara itu susulan laungan Islamofobia daripada penyokong Sepanyol semasa perlawanan menentang Mesir pada Mac lalu.
The FIFA Appeal Committee has rejected a Spanish appeal against punishment for racist chants during a friendly against Egypt in March, the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) announced on Friday. During the match against Egypt played at the Cornella, home of Espanyol, on March 31, part of the crowd chanted "whoever doesn't jump is Muslim". On August 4, three weeks after Spain won the World Cup, FIFA's disciplinary committee imposed a fine of $20,000 (17,800 euros) and closure of at least 15 per cent of the stadium for Spain's next home friendly. The RFEF reiterated on Friday that this misconduct "was detected by the Federation's own monitoring mechanisms" and that announcements urged the crowd to stop the chanting at half-time, during the second half and on the stadium video screens. The RFEF said it had cooperated fully to help identify those responsible. It said it would appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The Egyptian Football Association issued a statement expressing its "total condemnation of the vile racist incident" by some spectators who "went beyond the limits". #HespressEng #Spain #AntiMuslimChants #FIFA #Egypt #Racism #CMH

Dalam insiden itu menyaksikan sebahagian penyokong Sepanyol melaungkan, "Jika anda tidak melompat, anda seorang Muslim." semasa aksi pemanas badan Piala Dunia 2026 itu.
Pemain sayap Sepanyol, Lamine Yamal, antara yang mengecam tindakan itu.
FIFA menolak rayuan awal yang dilakukan RFEF sekali gus Sepanyol terpaksa membawa kes itu ke CAS.
