OFFICIAL STATEMENT REGARDING THE SO-CALLED 'NEGREIRA CASE'

A few days after the news of the so-called "Negreira case" came to public attention, Sevilla FC wishes to express its concern and indignation at the information that, day by day, has come to light through the media, making it clear that it is absolutely necessary to get to the bottom of the matter in order to clarify what happened and who is responsible.

The serious nature of the facts known so far, which call into question or sow doubts about the integrity of Spanish football competitions, also leads Sevilla FC to publicly request that LaLiga and the RFEF, as the highest representatives of Spanish football, with the RFEF also being the highest authority responsible for the refereeing collective, that, when the time comes, they promote and take part in all proceedings that may arise from this case once the investigation has been completed.

Finally, it is the wish of Sevilla FC to state that, beyond the clubs and their institutions, the fans of all teams deserve respect, and it is the responsibility of the leaders to provide the necessary environment so that the integrity of the competitions in which we participate is never called into question.
