The president of the World Football Federation (FIFA), Sepp Blatter, today condemned the racist chants of Betis fans during the Spanish championship match with Sevilla.

On Sunday, Betis fans racially insulted their player Paulo during the Spanish championship match with Svejla (0:4), while he was leaving the field due to a red card.

"I was sick when I saw the insults. I condemn their behavior. It is difficult to fight racism only with fines. This issue must be addressed by all competition organizers," Blatter wrote on Twitter.

Sevilla is in eighth place in the Spanish championship with 19 points won, and Betis is in the last 20th position with nine points.

Blatter has been the president of FIFA since 1998.
