Valencia's response on racist attacks in LaLiga
...we want to reiterate what we have already done publicly: our strongest condemnation of any kind of racism, violence or discrimination. From the moment that an isolated part of the fans engaged in racist behaviour, the club worked with the police to recognise the individuals involved and apply the club's maximum sanction: banning them for life from our stadium. In addition, the Police also arrested these individuals. We do NOT want any racist in our stadium or near our club and our commitment to eliminate this social scourge is total.
It is also true that these isolated incidents have been used by some parties to label our fans and club as racist and we are also categorically denying these false claims fuelled in part by videos or false claims where it is said that the whole stadium made racist chants, this is categorically false and we have an exemplary fan base except for isolated cases against which we fight with all our strength. Below, we link you to the numerous public statements (declarations and statements) where Valencia CF ratifies its commitment and position against racism:
