Valencia authorities investigate scandal over stripper invited to youth team victory party. An investigation has been launched in the Bonrepós i Mirambell municipality after a stripper performed at a celebration for a youth football team's victory. The event was attended by minors and their parents. The authorities are preparing a formal complaint for the prosecutor's office.
The municipality of Bonrepós i Mirambell, located near Valencia, found itself at the center of a scandal after a striptease was organized on the premises of the local sports complex during a celebration of the youth football team's victory. The event took place on May 16 and brought together not only the players, some of whom were minors, but also their parents. According to local media reports, the initiative to invite a stripper came from the coach, who wanted to mark the team's successful season this way.
The municipal administration stated that permission for the dinner at the sports complex had indeed been granted, but the authorities were not informed about plans for an erotic show. The event itself was held in a closed bar within the sports complex, though originally the show was planned to take place at a private home. Some parents and players in attendance expressed confusion and disagreement with what happened, as revealed by reports in Horta Noticias and eldiario.es.
After news of the incident became public, the president of the private football club, who is also the father of one of the players, resigned. The municipality has begun gathering information in order to refer the case to the prosecutor’s office to assess the legal aspects of using public facilities for such events. The mayor of the city, Raquel Ramiro, emphasized that the authorities are acting strictly in accordance with the law and urged against generalizing the behavior of a few individuals to the entire club.
The issue sparked widespread resonance on social media and became a topic of discussion at the local government level. Representatives of Compromís, who are part of the municipal government, announced the need to hold a special session to clarify all circumstances and take action. Particular concern was raised by the fact that minors attended the event, and there were reports of alcohol being present. According to one councilor, some parents supported the staging of the show, which led to an additional wave of criticism.
The situation in Bonrepós i Mirambell has become one of the most talked-about topics in the region in recent weeks. For comparison, heated debates have also arisen in the region's sports sphere — for example, when Universitario lost to Atlético Grau after a controversial player dismissal, which was examined in detail in the article on the consequences of the Universitario and Atlético Grau match.
Bonrepós i Mirambell is a small town with a population of about 4,000, part of the Valencia metropolitan area. In Spain, questions of ethics and the permissibility of such events in public institutions are regulated at the municipal level, and the participation of minors in such events can entail administrative or criminal liability. In recent years, the country has increased its focus on the protection of children's rights and oversight of the use of municipal facilities, especially in the context of sports and educational events.
