Javier Solís: "We are on Brazil's side in the fight against racism"

Javier Solís, Valencia CF's Corporate Director, has been interviewed by the Brazilian media Zero Hora, Radio Gaúcha and RBS TV (affiliated with TV Globo), taking advantage of the visit of Brazilian journalists to Spain to cover the news of the Brazilian national team.

The Corporate Director has publicly reaffirmed the Club's position in the Brazilian media and the actions being taken to eradicate this scourge in the face of the confusion and misinformation generated in recent weeks.

Javier Solís has made it abundantly clear that Valencia CF is not a racist Club nor can our fans be accused of being racist, stressing that from the outset the Club has publicly condemned any type of insult, attack or disqualification in football. In fact, as Javier Solís recalls: "Valencia CF were absolutely implacable after the episodes of the match against Real Madrid CF.

The morning after the match, after a whole night of work, we had already identified the three people. They will never be able to enter Mestalla ever again. We are an organisation that has always stood out in the fight against all types of racism. We do not accept it and we fight strongly for the eradication of all violence and discrimination".

The Valencia CF Corporate Director assures that the insults against Vinícius Junior at Mestalla were the acts of only three fans, who do not represent a Club that have always defended the values of integration, respect and solidarity, and as it could not be otherwise, he indicates that the Brazilian footballer will be welcome at the stadium in future visits of his team: "Valencia CF have always been relentless in the fight against racism and we stand by Brazil in this fight".
