Valencia have been sanctioned with a partial stadium closure for five matches following the racist abuse of Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr.<\/span><\/p>\n

Valencia have also been fined 45,000 euros (\u00a339,000).<\/span><\/p>\n

Valencia’s south stand will be closed and the club has 10 working days to appeal.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) also said Vinicius, 22, will not be suspended after being sent off in the 97th minute of the <\/span>1-0 defeat.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The RFEF said in a statement that the referee’s decision to dismiss Vinicius was due to him being “deprived of a decisive part of the facts”, adding that it was “impossible for him to properly assess what happened”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Explaining the partial stadium closure, the RFEF added: “It is considered proven that, as reflected by the referee in his minutes, there were racist shouts at Vinicius, altering the normal course of the match and considering the infractions very serious.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The match was paused in the second half as an incensed Vinicius reported opposition fans to the referee.<\/span><\/p>\n

Real has <\/span>reported the abuse<\/span><\/a> towards Vinicius to the Spanish prosecutor’s office as a hate crime.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vinicius has been the target of racist abuse multiple times this season and the latest incident has seen him receive support from the footballing world.<\/span><\/p>\n

And there has been widespread condemnation of how the incident has been handled, including from the Brazilian government.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before Tuesday night’s games between Real Valladolid and Barcelona, and Celta Vigo and Girona, players and match officials stood behind banners which read “Racism, out of football”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Barcelona winger Raphinha revealed a message of support for his compatriot in the second half when he was substituted.<\/span><\/p>\n

La Liga has said it <\/span>will request “more sanctioning powers”<\/span><\/a> so it can punish incidents of racism, after the Spanish league’s handling of the incident at Valencia received widespread condemnation.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the match, Vinicius and La Liga president Javier Tebas were involved in a row on Twitter, after the Brazilian said La Liga “belongs to racists” and “in Brazil, Spain is known as a country of racists”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tebas responded by saying Vinicius twice did not turn up for a meeting to discuss what it “can do in cases of racism”, adding: “Before you criticise and slander La Liga, you need to inform yourself properly.” <\/span><\/p>\n
