Polish soccer club Raków Częstochowa has been fined €40,000 by the Union of European Football Associations and given a two-year probationary period, following actions by fans during a game against Israel’s Maccabi Haifa.
UEFA announced that “an investigation regarding allegations against Maccabi Haifa in that same match is still ongoing and information will be provided later.”
UEFA fined Raków €30,000 and imposed a conditional stadium ban due to the lighting of flares, as well as an additional fine of €10,000 for displaying the banner.
A bit of background, this was in response to another game last week where Israel fans brought a banner saying “Murderers since 1939”, essentially blaming the Poles for the Holocaust while they themselves were occupied by the Nazis
Let me guess, they weren’t fined?
They were “investigated”
That’s messed up but on par with how Israeli football fans have been acting lately.
