🏟 Disciplinary committee orders partial closure of RCDE Stadium

RCD Espanyol is once again in the spotlight after the partial closure of the RCDE Stadium was ordered for the match against Levante.

Next Monday, Espanyol will face Levante in Cornellà and will have to do so without part of its stadium.

The closed area will be sector 100 of the stand following the objects thrown that were recorded in the referee’s report during Espanyol-Getafe. Around 344 fans will miss out on attending.

Espanyol’s statement

"The Disciplinary Committee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has imposed a sanction on RCD Espanyol consisting of the partial closure of sector 100 of the stand at the RCDE Stadium, as a result of the objects thrown that were recorded in the referee’s report during the match played on 21 March 2026 against Getafe Club de Fútbol, corresponding to Matchday 29 of LaLiga EA Sports.

This sanction has been agreed upon after the Disciplinary Committee considered that the events constituted a serious disruption of the order of the match, with the Club having been previously warned over incidents of a similar nature, all in accordance with the current RFEF Disciplinary Code.

In compliance with the disciplinary ruling, it is hereby informed that during the next match to be played at the RCDE Stadium against Levante Unión Deportiva, corresponding to Matchday 32 of LaLiga EA Sports and scheduled for 27 April 2026 at 21:00, sector 100 of the RCDE Stadium will remain closed to the public. This sector, from which the aforementioned objects were identified as having been thrown, will display a message condemning violent, racist, xenophobic and intolerant acts and conduct in football, as well as supporting fair play, in accordance with the provisions of article 57 of the current RFEF Disciplinary Code.

The closure will affect an approximate total of 344 seats. Season-ticket holders in that sector will receive the corresponding informational communication from RCD Espanyol.

RCD Espanyol reiterates its firm and unequivocal condemnation of any violent, racist, xenophobic and intolerant behaviour in sport, which in no way represents the values of the Club, and regrets that this type of conduct, carried out by a minority, directly harms the Club’s entire fanbase."
