It is the first time FSE acts in a leading capacity of an Erasmus+ Project.
On 27 September, UEFA President Alexander Čeferin announced the decision of the UEFA Executive Committee to select the bid presented by the German Football Association (DFB) to host the EURO 2024. It was opposed to the Turkish Football Federation (TFF). FSE welcomes the decision and expects the DFB to fulfill its commitments.
There was an overwhelming response by a total of 2000 visitors.
UEFA’s sanction against Olympique de Marseille casted a first shadow on Eintracht’s return, its supporters being the “collateral victims” of a disciplinary decision against the French club. By imposing OM to play its first home game behind closed doors, UEFA’s disciplinary body did not only punish tens thousands of local fans for the behavior of a few and the club’s failure to meet its obligations, but it also deprived Eintracht fans from their right to support their team. This stadium closure is nothing but a collective punishment and we are calling UEFA to put an end to these unfair measures.
This resulted in multiple cases when away fans had to pay more than double the effective prices for home supporters. RCS Anderlecht and FC Sevilla even reached the record price of 100EUR in the away sector. Regrettably, at least one case is already recorded this season for the forthcoming fixture between FC Valencia and Manchester United. These unfair, punitive prices raise concerns on the capacity of a growing number of dedicated football fans to follow their club abroad. The presence of those away fans in substantial numbers is a key part of the spectacle and atmosphere of UEFA Club Competitions.
Football fans are facing various challenges when traveling to their team’s European away matches, from late fixtures to visa requirements, ticket prices or policing style.
