About

'Barcelona con la selección' is a platform or group, with Manel Hernández as a founder and spokesperson, that supports the Spanish national team. They are currently newsworthy due to allegations of racist chants originating from sections where their members were seated during a recent Spain-Egypt friendly match. Reports indicate the group purchased nearly 1,900 tickets, with a 40% discount, concentrated in sectors where the chants reportedly began. The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), the match organizer, is facing scrutiny from the Prosecutor's Office, Mossos (Catalan police), and FIFA. Hernández claims the Federation managed ticket sales, denying direct involvement in selling them. The group's actions and alleged connection to the racist chanting have made them a focal point in investigations and public discourse surrounding the incident.
