Lamine Jamal Scores Amid Racism in Spain
During the 2026 World Cup, the Spanish center "Oberaxi" recorded around 55,000 hate messages on social media in Spain, mainly targeting the French national team and young star Lamine Yamal, with the aim of promoting racist and xenophobic sentiments. The study confirmed that 52% of these messages were directly related to the World Cup, with a particular focus on the origins of the foreign players, especially those of Moroccan and Equatoguinean descent. It also highlighted an increase in hate speech against Latin American national teams and Muslims. The findings showed that 74% of the messages contained content that violated the dignity of the victims and dehumanized them, using violent language or inciting assault. Some messages depicted migrants as a burden on society and called for their expulsion, reflecting deep-rooted racial prejudices and hostility toward foreigners in the digital discourse surrounding football.
