UE Sant Andreu fans targeted by racist and Catalanophobic attacks in Madrid
Fans of the football club UE Sant Andreu were subjected to physical assaults, racist insults, and Catalanophobic attacks during a match against Rayo Majadahonda at the Cerro del Espino stadium in Madrid.
According to reports, a group of local ultras from Rayo Majadahonda confronted approximately fifty Sant Andreu supporters as they were leaving the stadium. The incidents included the throwing of beer cans and racial slurs directed at a Black supporter, including monkey sounds. One fan was reportedly punched and had a dehydrator stolen during the confrontation.
The club, UE Sant Andreu, issued a statement condemning the intimidation and physical aggression, describing the perpetrators as a group of fascists who were waiting for the fans. Additionally, a local journalist recording the events was intimidated and pursued, requiring an escort to reach the press room.
