Real Oviedo fan jailed for racist abuse against Rashford | OneFootball

The Asturias Prosecutor’s Office has requested a 15-month prison sentence for a Real Oviedo fan for racist insults against Marcus Rashford of Barcelona. The crime occurred in September 2025 at the Carlos Tartiere stadium during a corner kick. In addition to imprisonment, the 19-year-old faces fines and compensation exceeding 4,800 euros, reinforcing the legal crackdown on discrimination in sports.

The case went viral after a video recorded in the stands reached 29 million views in 24 hours. The footage was crucial in identifying the offender, who hurled insults while the striker was preparing for the play. The public exposure accelerated the actions of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which now awaits the scheduling of the oral trial at the Oviedo court.

This is not the first time the club has faced such a situation. Recently, another fan was indicted for similar attacks against Kylian Mbappé of Real Madrid during a match held in August. On that occasion, the requested sentence was one year in prison, highlighting a trend of tougher measures by Spanish authorities against recurring hate crimes in the stands of Carlos Tartiere.

These measures aim to create a safe environment and severely punish abusive behavior. With pressure from the leagues and society, the outcome of this case will serve as an educational example in the fight against racism in European football. Now, attention turns to the Spanish justice system, which is expected to deliver a definitive ruling on the conviction in the coming months.
