During Saturday's 1-0 La Liga victory against Getafe, Sevilla's Argentina defender Marcos Acuna and the coaching staff were the focus of "racist and xenophobic insults" from the stands, the club reported.
The game was paused in the 68th minute by referee Iglesias Villanueva in accordance with LaLiga's anti-racism policy.
Sevilla released a statement on the social media platform X stating, "We condemn the racist and xenophobic insults suffered by Marcos Acuna and our coaching staff."
"There is no place for racist or hateful behavior in sport," LaLiga stated in a statement. La Liga strongly denounces any racist activity and will keep fighting to rid our sport of this unacceptable behavior."
Sevilla coach Quique Sanchez Flores said he had also received xenophobic insults against him as fans called him a "gypsy" in a derogatory manner.
"First, I want to say that I am proud of every pore in my veins that can breathe gypsy. But it's one thing to be a gypsy and another to use it as a racist insult. I find it abhorrent," said Sanchez.
"Serious action needs to be taken, our players have suffered as well, I am against any racist chanting."
Getafe coach Jose Bordalas said the protocol had to be activated in this case and agreed that serious measures needed to be taken if racist chants were to be stopped.
"I agree that the protocol was activated. If the referee and in this case Acuna heard it (abuse), it was good that they stopped the match," he told a press conference.
