RFEF opens inquiry into alleged racist insult by Alberto Jiménez towards Kazunari Kita

The RFEF Disciplinary Committee has opened a preliminary inquiry into an alleged racist insult reported by Real Sociedad B’s Kazunari Kita during their match with Castellón, according to El Periódico Mediterráneo.

In the 94th minute, the anti-racism protocol was activated after Kita told the referee that Castellón player Alberto Jiménez had called him “puto chino”. The officiating team did not hear the remark.
