Football fan who racially abused Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze handed one-year prison sentence

A La Liga football fan has been given a combined one-year prison sentence after being found of racially abusing Super Eagles winger, Samuel Chukwueze and Real Madrid star Vinicius Jnr on two separate incidents.

The individual directed hateful abuse at former Villarreal player Samuel Chukwueze during Mallorca’s home La Liga win on February 18.

The same offender also abused Brazilian winger Vinicius Jnr during Real Madrid’s clash against Mallorca on February 5, 2023.

A court in Spain has now handed down six-month prison sentences for each incident and also took the decision to implement a three-year stadium ban on the supporter.

The Brazilian superstar recently opened up on how he feels ‘targeted’ by discriminatory abuse from rival fans.

He also insisted that the nation shouldn’t be allowed to host the 2030 World Cup unless action is taken against discrimination.

His suggestion was immediately slammed by LaLiga president Javier Tebas who labelled the comment as ‘incoherent’.

He said: ‘I think that, if you look, you will see that his statements were not entirely consistent with what he himself says in the interview. 

‘At the same time that he was saying that perhaps the World Cup should be re-considered, he was also saying that Spain is not a racist country.

‘Let’s remove what is incoherent and keep what is coherent: that Spain is not a racist country, and on that I agree with Vinicius.’
