Facade of El Coliseum stadium in Getafe.

The State Commission against Violence has proposed the temporary closure of El Coliseum and a 10,000 euro fine for Getafe CF due to a pitch invasion following their victory against Osasuna.

The State Commission against Violence, Racism, Xenophobia and Intolerance in Sport has recommended the temporary closure of El Coliseum stadium, home to Getafe CF. This proposal stems from infractions committed during the last LaLiga EA Sports match against Osasuna, played on May 23rd.
Following the end of the game, numerous fans entered the field to celebrate the team's qualification for the Conference League. The massive pitch invasion, which began in the south stand and quickly spread across the entire field, has led the Commission to propose a financial penalty of 10,000 euros and a one-month stadium closure.
The Commission emphasized that, "from a security perspective, this situation creates objective risks that do not disappear simply because the participants' motivation is festive."
In a separate incident, the same Commission has proposed a 4,000 euro fine and a one-year ban from sports venues for a Club Atlético de Madrid season ticket holder. The sanction is for racist insults directed at FC Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal.
