(Site notre blog d’information) supporters of the Fan Association International Europe have brutally criticized the exclusion of Frankfurt fans for the Eintracht Champions League match in Naples and have requested consequences.
« If the authorities, like now in Marseille (against Ajax) or Naples (against Eintracht), impose an outside ban, they essentially say nothing more than: » we cannot organize the game safely « . The opening of the guest block is one of the regulatory requirements, just like the size of the land or the number of press places, » said Martin Endemann of « DPA ».
Endemann added: « Clubs and authorities cannot choose the rules they can apply and which they can ignore. Who are available for UEFA. »
For the match in SSC Naples on November 4, fans living in Frankfurt will not receive any tickets. Eintracht has already expressed his lack of understanding and has announced: « The successful chances, the meaning and the goal of any legal remedy against the decree are carefully verified. » Responsible Italian authorities justify the measure with security problems.
UEFA no longer wanted to accept fans exclusions
In 2023, there were serious riots in the duel of the two clubs. At that time, no guest tickets were sold at Eintracht fans at 16 in Naples. There were still riots.
UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin announced that the European (Site notre blog d’information) Union would not accept an exclusion from fans in the future. « We must say that if something as it happens is not played there. Quite simply: we will change the rules, » said Ceferin at the time on « ZDF ».
