UEFA Charges Rodri and Morata Over Chant

UEFA has charged Spanish footballers Rodri and Alvaro Morata for their chants of 'Gibraltar is Spanish' during Spain's Euro 2024 victory celebrations, following a formal complaint from the Gibraltar Football Association (GFA). The GFA deemed the chants 'extremely provocative and insulting,' leading UEFA to accuse the players of 'violating basic rules of decent conduct' and 'bringing the sport into disrepute.' Potential penalties include suspensions from upcoming Nations League matches. Additionally, UEFA has sanctioned seven other nations for racist or discriminatory behavior by their fans during the tournament. The affected countries include Serbia, Croatia, Romania, Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, and Albania. Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory, remains a contentious issue between the UK and Spain.
