Authorities in Spain are investigating chants deemed 'Islamophobic and xenophobic' that were directed at fans during a friendly football match between Spain and Egypt in Barcelona. The match, which ended in a 0-0 draw, witnessed fans jeering Egypt's national anthem, prompting repeated appeals from stadium officials for respectful behavior. Spain's coach, Luis de la Fuente, expressed his disgust towards such xenophobic attitudes, labeling them as intolerable. Justice Minister Félix Bolaños also condemned the incident, stating that racist insults embarrass society and warning against complicity through silence. The regional police, Mossos d'Esquadra, have initiated an investigation into the matter, highlighting the need for vigilance against hate speech in sporting events. This incident comes against the backdrop of Spain's upcoming World Cup matches, where they will face predominantly Muslim countries, including Saudi Arabia.
