The State Commission against Violence, Racism, Xenophobia, and Intolerance in Sport has proposed economic sanctions and bans from sports venues for 11 fans involved in a tumultuous brawl in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

The proposal includes fines of 5,000 euros and a 12-month prohibition from entering stadiums for these supporters. The incidents occurred on the morning of October 19, prior to a Segunda Federación match between the reserve team of UD Las Palmas and Real Sociedad Deportiva Alcalá.
According to information provided by the National Police Information Brigade in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and the National Sports Office (OND), those involved are members of the groups known as Brigadas Alcalaínas and Ultra Naciente.
