😱Outrage in Seville: Club to appeal Sánchez Pizjuán sanction | OneFootball

Sevilla Football Club has expressed its "surprise and utmost indignation" at the proposed sanction by the State Anti-Violence Commission. The measure, leaked to the media without official notification to the club, involves the complete closure of the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium for a month and a fine of 120,000 euros, following incidents that occurred during the Seville derby.

Disproportionate Sanction and Comparative Grievance

The club considers the proposal "completely disproportionate" and unfounded, describing it as a "new and blatant comparative grievance." Sevilla argues that similar or more serious episodes have occurred in other stadiums with less severe punishments, creating an "intolerable discrimination" that unfairly punishes the entire fan base.

Sevilla FC, which has tasked its legal services with analyzing the proposal, condemns the throwing of objects but insists that the actions of a few individuals cannot be generalized to sanction the entire stadium.

Maximum Collaboration with Authorities

Despite feeling aggrieved, Sevilla reaffirmed its "zero tolerance" policy against violence and its commitment to collaboration. The club highlighted that, following the derby, it has closely cooperated with the police to identify the perpetrators of the throwings and will apply its internal disciplinary regulations.

This proposal for total closure adds to the sanction previously imposed by the Competition Committee (partial closure for three matches). Sevilla has confirmed that it will appeal both sanctioning procedures (federative and administrative) before all relevant instances.
