Turkish police arrested seven people after violence erupted at a soccer match in the city of Bursa against a team from the mainly Kurdish city of Diyarbakir, authorities said.



After the scenes, pro-Kurdish party said officials should resign over the “open racism” at the game.

Videos showed players of Amedspor being pelted with water bottles and sharp objects like small knives on the pitch, while fans chanted Turkish nationalist and anti-Kurdish slogans.

The governor’s office in northwest Turkey’s Bursa province informed three public officials were removed from their posts pending an investigation into events at Sunday’s match between Bursapor and Diyarbakir’s Amedspor.

It said prosecutors had launched proceedings against those involved in an assault in the changing rooms after the match and those involved in unfurling banners during the match. So far seven people have been detained, it added.

Italian FA Probe Anti-Semitic Chants From Lazio Fans - 08/03/2023

Italy's Football Federation (FIGC) has launched an investigation into anti-Semitic chants sung by Lazio fans before their team's win at Napoli, a governing body source told AFP on Wednesday.

The FIGC said they had launched the probe into the chants sung by a group of around 100 supporters behind the away section at the Stadio Maradona on Friday "and not heard in the stands during the match" by on-site officials.

A video showing Lazio fans singing the song in the presence of stewards and police went viral on social media in the aftermath of a 1-0 win in Naples.

In it, they proudly call themselves racist and insult supporters of local rivals Roma by saying their fathers were deported to Nazi concentration camps.

On Tuesday the FIGC had announced they were investigating unspecified chants directed at Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.

The incident is the latest in a litany involving Lazio's hardcore fans, some of the most right wing in a country where fascist fan groups are a widespread phenomenon.

In January, authorities ordered the closure of the Curva Nord section of the Stadio Olimpico, where Lazio's hardcore fans stand, for one match following racist chants at Lecce which left France international Samuel Umtiti in tears.

Last season the handler of Lazio's eagle mascot praised dictators Benito Mussolini and Francisco Franco after being suspended by the club for performing a fascist salute at the end of a match.

Bayern Munich have been fined 44,750 euros after their fans unfurled an offensive banner and caused disturbances during their Champions League match against Paris St Germain last month, European soccer's governing body UEFA said on Wednesday.

Bayern beat PSG 1-0 at Parc de Princes in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie where the German club's supporters displayed a banner that contained an expletive in a protest against high ticket prices for the match.

UEFA rules prohibit "provocative messages that are of a political, ideological, religious or offensive nature."

Bayern were also fined for crowd disturbances after masked supporters were seen clashing with the police and for letting off pyrotechnics.

Bayern fans protest against Qatar with a Hoeneß poster

Before the round of 16 second leg in the Champions League the criticism of Honorary President Uli Hoeneß against Paris Saint-Germain was taken up martially. “Our butcher slaughters the long arm of Qatar,” read a banner in French on Wednesday evening. There was also an image of Hoeneß with his middle finger raised and a cleaver in hand over a severed arm bearing the PSG and Qatar Airways logos.

The 71-year-old Hoeneß, himself a butcher’s son, recently described the French club financed from Qatar as a “total counterpart” to his Bayern Munich. “On Wednesday we’re dealing with a club where money doesn’t matter. They can buy everything – and lose against us,” he teased as a talk guest at an event Evening News in Munich.

Qatar Airways, Qatar’s state airline, has been a sponsor of FC Bayern since the summer of 2018. The deal with the airline as sleeve sponsor expires this year. It is still unclear whether the sponsorship will be extended. Many fans of FC Bayern are very critical of the financially lucrative cooperation with the airline.

A football hooligan who ran onto the field during PSV Eindhoven's Europa League match against Sevilla and in the face was sentenced Wednesday to two months in prison.

The 20-year-old, who was identified as Dylano K. in line with Dutch privacy guidelines, was convicted of assaulting goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic and breaching a stadium ban imposed by national soccer federation the KNVB. Local authorities had also had banned him from the area around the PSV stadium.

Prosecutors said last month he had two previous convictions for soccer-related offenses and was under the influence of alcohol when he ran onto the field late in the match on Feb. 23 and punched Dmitrovic. The goalkeeper was not injured and wrestled the hooligan to the ground before stewards marched him off the pitch.

In addition to the two months behind bars, the man was sentenced to a further one-month prison term he would have to serve if he re-offends. In passing sentence, the judge took into account the fact that K. was fired from his job after the incident and kicked out of his supporters' club.
