Spain to be punished after fans boo England national anthem following hooligan rampage around Seville

SPAIN are facing a potential fine from Uefa after fans booed during England's national anthem before their Uefa Nations League match.

Supporters in the Benito Villamarin stadium in Seville began a chorus of boos when God Save The Queen was played before La Roja's 3-2 loss to the Three Lions.

It was a first competitive home defeat for Spain in 15 years.

News of possible sanctions comes just 24 hours after English hooligans were involved in a rampage through the streets of Seville.

Riot police intervened when fans began vandalising cars during a boozy night before the game.

Footage showed noisy supporters kicking wing mirrors off vehicles and circling drivers in their cars.

But it looks set to be the Spanish who are punished for their whistling, especially as it's not the first time.

Spain were fined after the 2010 European Championships when fans booed during the Irish national anthem.

An announcement was made at the stadium on Monday night asking fans to respect the English anthem.

But the warnings were not heeded.

It will be up to Uefa's delegate report on the severity of the fine but Spain fear they could be forced to play behind closed doors if it continues.
