It's about his age
Because of “child prodigy”: hefty European Championship penalty for Spain?
The German Youth Protection Act applies to the 16-year-old Spaniard Lamine Yamal at the European Championships. As he was still giving interviews after 11 p.m. after the match against Italy, this could be considered work and the authorities could impose a fine of up to 30,000 euros.
Lamine Yamal also shone on Thursday during Spain's 1:0 win against Italy with a great deal of enthusiasm. According to the German Youth Protection Act, however, minors are not allowed to work after 8 pm. Luckily for Yamal, there is an exception for athletes. This means that he can also play in the evening matches at the EURO.
However, because he was still answering questions from journalists after the game, the Spaniards are now facing a hefty fine. There is talk of a fine of up to 30,000 euros.
No ban
