FIFA处罚西班牙:球迷高喊歧视口号 罚款2万美元并部分关闭看台

国际足联(FIFA)10月16日宣布,西班牙队被罚款2万美元,并被责令在下一场友谊赛中部分关闭球场,原因是球迷在今年3月对阵埃及的比赛中两次高喊伊斯兰恐惧症口号。
涉事比赛在巴塞罗那附近西班牙人俱乐部主场RCDE球场举行,这场世界杯热身赛以0比0结束。部分西班牙球迷高喊「不跳的人是穆斯林」。第二次口号出现后,现场广播发出警告,记分牌也打出反对歧视行为的信息。西班牙边锋、穆斯林球员拉明·亚马尔当时谴责这些口号不尊重、不可容忍,称喊口号者「无知且种族主义」。
西班牙足协(RFEF)辩称「穆斯林」一词本身并无侮辱性,但FIFA纪律委员会驳回了这一说法,认定在特定语境下用词可构成歧视。FIFA责令关闭西班牙下一场友谊赛至少15%的可用座位。西班牙警方在事发次日已立案调查。(GSM 据路透社报道)
Spain Fined $20,000 by FIFA, Ordered to Partially Close Stadium Over Islamophobic Chants
Spain have been fined $20,000 and ordered to partially close their stadium for their next friendly after supporters chanted Islamophobic slogans twice during a game against Egypt in March, FIFA said on October 16.
The sanctions relate to incidents at the RCDE Stadium near Barcelona, home of LaLiga club Espanyol, where some Spain fans chanted, "Who doesn't jump is a Muslim" during a World Cup warm-up match that ended 0-0. After the second chant, the stadium announcer issued a warning and the scoreboard displayed a message against discriminatory behaviour. Spain winger Lamine Yamal, who is Muslim, condemned the chants at the time as disrespectful and intolerable, calling those responsible "ignorant and racist."
The Spanish federation (RFEF) argued the word "Muslim" was neither insulting nor pejorative, but FIFA's disciplinary committee rejected that argument, saying a term can be discriminatory when used in context as an insult or taunt. FIFA ordered the closure of at least 15 percent of available seats for Spain's next friendly. Spanish police launched an investigation the day after the match. (GSM, based on Reuters reporting)
