Indeed, local football is rocked by a scandal after a video surfaced publicly showing the president of the fourth-division club CD Colonia Moscardó chasing his Muslim players with Iberian ham, in an incident described as "racist and humiliating." The event comes at the worst possible time, as Spanish football is already under public scrutiny due to several racist outbursts in recent weeks, writes Goal. In the mentioned video, which club president Xavi Puvis initially posted on social networks and later deleted, he is seen promoting a pork product intended as a gift for the next match. He then starts running after his players of Islamic faith, shouting: "Eat pork." Puvis first defended his action as a "joke," but the strong reaction from fans and media forced the club to remove the controversial video.

Puvis (39) has built a reputation as a controversial figure since becoming club president. In 2019, he briefly renamed another club to "Flat Earth Club," and has also been a vocal opponent of COVID-19 vaccines.
