For this reason, the CTA requests that “the clubs and their fans take a decisive position in the fight against this scourge” and that “all federations and institutions linked to the world of football become aware of the seriousness of what is happening on the fields.” of Spain and adopt the necessary training and coercive measures without further delay”. In addition, it also asks the media to “firmly censor attitudes of hatred and violence on football fields of any category and avoid any justification.”
