Spain’s Euro 2024 winners Alvaro Morata and Rodri are under UEFA investigation
for singing about a sovereignty claim on Gibraltar at the team’s title celebration.
According to ESPN, the European football governing body said a disciplinary inspector is being appointed to evaluate a potential violation of its rules by both players.
Morata and Rodri led thousands of fans singing “Gibraltar is Spanish” at a celebration in Madrid on Monday after the team’s 2-1 win over England in the Euro 2024 final.
Gibraltar on the southern tip of Spain has been a British overseas territory for more than 300 years.
The Gibraltar football federation filed a formal complaint to UEFA on Thursday.
UEFA gave no timetable for a possible case which could see the players suspended from Nations League games in September.
At the just concluded Euros in Germany, UEFA banned Albania player Mirlind Daku for two games after leading fans in nationalist chants against Serbia and North Macedonia.
Morata, who completed a move from Atletico Madrid to AC Milan on Friday, captain Spain to a record fourth European title.
