2024 Ballon d'Or contender Vinicius Junior has called for a shock solution to address the racism issue in Spain.
Vinicius has been the victim of racist abuse on several occasions in Spain, with the player having been subjected to highly offensive chants by fans of clubs including Valencia, Atletico Madrid, and FC Barcelona.

In March this year, the Brazilian broke down in tears during a press conference when asked about the racism aimed at him.
Just months before his emotional presser, the Brazil men's national team were awarded with the FIFA Fair Play award for their powerful stand against racism when they swapped their traditional yellow jerseys for an all-black kit to show solidarity with Vinicius.
With the Selecao forward having been at the forefront of the fight against racism, the 23-year-old has now made a bold suggestion for a solution, saying that Spain should be dropped from hosting the 2030 FIFA World Cup alongside Portugal and Morocco if the racism issue is not sufficiently addressed by then.
"Until 2030, we have a lot of room to evolve," Vinicius told CNN.
"I hope that Spain can evolve, and understand how serious it is to insult someone because of the colour of their skin.
"If, by 2030, things don't improve, I think we have to move the location, because if a player doesn't feel comfortable and safe playing in a country where they can suffer racism, it's a bit difficult."
The winger went on to further add that his comments were aimed at only a minority of supporters in Spain.
"There are a lot of people in Spain, the majority, that aren't racist," Vinicius continued.
"It's a small group that ends up affecting the image of a country that's good to live in.
"I love playing for Real Madrid. I love Spain, having the best conditions to live here with my family.
"We hope things can evolve more. They've already evolved, but they can evolve a lot more. For 2030, racist incidents and racism can, and should, decrease."
