About
The RCDE Stadium, located in Cornellà de Llobregat, is the home stadium of RCD Espanyol. It's currently newsworthy due to multiple incidents. During a recent friendly match between Spain and Egypt held at the stadium, widespread racist chants of "musulmán el que no bote" (Muslim who doesn't jump) were heard, leading to condemnation from government officials and a FIFA investigation into the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). The RFEF, as the organizer of the match, is now under pressure to address the situation. Additionally, RCD Espanyol has identified and sanctioned a club member for throwing liquid at the referee during a LaLiga match against Getafe played at the stadium. These events have brought increased attention to issues of racism and fan behavior within Spanish football and at the RCDE Stadium specifically, prompting discussions about tolerance and responsibility.
