Now it wants legislation changing so that it has the power to impose punishments such as forcing games to be played behind closed doors or financial penalties.
It said in a statement: “LaLiga will request extra sanctioning powers, with the goal of being extra agile and efficient within the battle in opposition to violence, racism, xenophobia and intolerance in sport, the place LaLiga has been main the identification and reporting of such behaviour in soccer stadiums for years, however feels powerless when observing how its reporting ends.
“Despite its intense and continuous fight against violence and racism to the full extent of its powers (currently, according to Spanish legislation, limited to identifying and reporting the facts that occur), LaLiga feels tremendous frustration at the lack of sanctions and convictions by the sport’s disciplinary bodies, public administrations and jurisdictional bodies to which it reports.
“Faced with this severe state of affairs, within the coming days LaLiga will formally request the modification of Law 19/2007 of July 11, in opposition to violence, racism, xenophobia and intolerance in sport and Law 39/2022 of December 30, on sport.
“The purpose of the proposal is to request that LaLiga may exercise disciplinary authority over incidents of this type which occur in matches of the professional competition, so that the disciplinary bodies of LaLiga may proceed to sanction them, among other things, with the total or partial closure of the sports venue, the prohibition of access to it in the case of members/fans and the imposition of financial penalties, without prejudice to the adoption of provisional or precautionary measures that may be appropriate, depending on the nature and seriousness of the incidents.
“As we have now been repeating in latest days, LaLiga has been main the battle in opposition to violence, racism and intolerance on soccer pitches, each inside and out of doors the stadium, figuring out such behaviour via its match administrators, safety officers and tv cameras, and subsequently reporting it to the related our bodies.”
