Spain teenager Lamine Yamal has hit out at his own side's fans on the back of alleged Islamophobic chanting during his side's game against Egypt. 'Football is to be enjoyed and encouraged, not to disrespect people for who they are or what they believe in. These actions are entirely unacceptable in football stadiums and represent a negative phenomenon that must be collectively addressed and eradicated.' It added: 'What happened is completely unacceptable, and FIFA remains committed to combating racism and discrimination in football.' The Spanish Football Federation's statement read: 'The RFEF stands against racism in football and condemns any act of violence inside stadiums.'
