The charges against Rodri and Morata under Article 55 of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations include: general principles of the Code of Conduct, DR Article 11(1); violation of basic rules of good conduct, DR Article 11(2)(b); using a sporting event for performances of an unsportsmanlike nature, DR Article 11(2)(c); bringing the sport of soccer, and UEFA in particular, into disrepute, DR Article 11(2) (d).
UEFA's Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Committee will decide on the case in due course. As previously revealed by Marca, Rodri and Morata could face a two-match suspension.
It started when Rodri took the microphone and sang, "Gibraltar is Spain's" during the celebrations following Spain's 2-1 win over England to win Euro 2024
Gibraltar is Spanish.
". The comment sparked controversy and on July 16, the Gibraltar Football Association complained to UEFA about the matter.
Gibraltar, which borders the Spanish province of Cadiz in Andalusia to the north, was ceded to the United Kingdom in 1713 and remains British territory to this day. The incident not only aroused widespread concern in the sports world, but also involved sensitive political issues. UEFA attaches great importance to this incident and has decided to initiate disciplinary proceedings in order to safeguard the good image and reputation of the sport.
