Overview
- LaLiga and the Spanish government unveiled the measures at a national stadium-safety congress held at Atlético Madrid’s Metropolitano, with Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska and LaLiga president Javier Tebas presenting the plan.
- The new protocol requires at least one staffed 'punto violeta' in every stand to offer on-the-spot help to people facing discrimination, sexual or gender-based violence, or harassment.
- Clubs must also create dedicated 'salas violetas' where potential victims can receive private support and appoint protection delegates responsible for prevention and response inside the venue.
- Spain’s National Police, through its Family and Women Unit, helped draft the protocol to tighten coordination between clubs, stewards, and law enforcement during incidents.
- Separately, the Comisión Antiviolencia, which brings together the government, the Prosecutor’s Office, the RFEF, and LaLiga, is working on reforms to the 2007 anti-violence law to strengthen action against organized ultras and incidents that occur outside stadiums.
