LaLiga announced this morning the steps it intends to take this season to try to eradicate one of the most unpleasant chapters of the previous one, such as the various chapters of racism that took place in some fields of the Spanish league.
To do this, it intends to carry out a series of measures that maintain this anti-racism message every day, with three main and fundamental actions. On the one hand is Fixed signage in stadiums: Posters will be placed on all pitches, adapted to each of the clubs, to remind fans that ending racism is everyone’s business and that they are an important element in achieving it.
Second, there will be stickers on complaint seats to promote a safe environment and allow fans to actively contribute to the fight against racism. And finally, there are captain’s armbands personalized for every club that reads LALIGA VS Racism. These armbands will appeal to the captains on the field, but also to those in the stands, to the fans. 126,000 units will be distributed in the stadiums of the teams playing at home in the first days, inviting fans to become team captains against hate and racism, protecting their stadium for the first time.
In addition, for tomorrow’s match between Athletic Club and Real Madrid, there will be a canvas on which to launch an awareness message against hatred and intolerance.. The aim is that both the fans of the stadium and the millions of fans who watch LALIGA around the world will be aware of the importance of fighting together against this social scourge.
