Real Madrid denies ban on flags from Spain and Ceuta at Bernabéu
The club reacts to social posts claiming a restriction, saying its rules allow official national flags in the stadium.
Real Madrid has moved to clarify reports circulating on social media about a supposed ban on entering the Santiago Bernabéu with flags linked to Ceuta. The controversy comes after some fan groups promoted actions to show support for the city ahead of the Champions League match against Inter.
As Mundo Deportivo reports, among the ideas shared with supporters was bringing flags of Spain and Ceuta to the stadium.
Club’s official response
The club’s reply arrived through an official statement. Real Madrid insists that it is “categorically false” that the team had issued instructions to prevent access to the stadium with Spanish flags or flags from any of Spain’s communities or autonomous cities, without explicitly naming Ceuta.
The statement also stresses that the club’s rules follow current legislation and, it says, allow without restriction access for all official flags of the country at its venue.
In short, despite what some posts and media outlets claimed, the Real Madrid line is that there is no special prohibition for this match-day case, according to Mundo Deportivo.
