Spanish Fan Racially Abused by Chinese Argentina Supporter in Shanghai After World Cup Final

On July 22, after the 2023 Women's World Cup final (Spain vs. England), a Spanish fan celebrating Spain's victory on the streets of Shanghai was racially abused by a Chinese man wearing an Argentina No. 10 jersey. The Chinese fan reportedly splashed water on the Spanish fan and used racist slurs until police intervened and removed him. The Spanish fan later posted on social media expressing confusion, noting that the aggressor's country (China) did not even participate in the World Cup, and questioned why the Chinese fan was angrier than the losing side. The incident highlights tensions between international football fans in China and has sparked discussion on social media.
