Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The Spanish football body has imposed on Getafe a three-match partial stadium closure after fans racially abused a Sevilla player and head coach during a league match.<\/p>\n

The RFEF disciplinary committee said in a statement on Wednesday that Getafe were also fined \u20ac27,000 ($29,100) after a group of fans voiced racist slurs against Sevilla’s Argentine left-back Marcos Acuna and Spanish head coach Quique Sanchez Flores.<\/p>\n

Sevilla won at Getafe 1-0 win in a Spanish La Liga match on March 30.<\/p>\n

Some Getafe fans in the stadium are said to have called 32-year-old Acuna “monkey,” referee Javier Iglesias Villanueva wrote in his match report.<\/p>\n

The referee paused the match in the 68th minute for racist chants.<\/p>\n

Following the away win, Flores told Spanish media that some Getafe fans called him a “gypsy.”<\/p>\n

The 59-year-old has earlier said he is “proud to be a gypsy,” but found it “abhorrent” when it was used to abuse him.<\/p>\n

Flores, who led Atletico Madrid to the 2010 UEFA Europa League, and UEFA Super Cup titles, has coached Getafe three times.<\/p>\n

The disciplinary committee also demanded Getafe to publish a visible message condemning racist, xenophobic and intolerant actions in football.<\/p>\n

Now in the 11th spot in the top-tier LaLiga, Getafe will suffer their partial stadium closure in matches against Real Sociedad (April 21), Athletic Bilbao (May 5) and Atletico Madrid (May 15).<\/p>\n
