If someone thinks that something happened that commonly occurs in football, they are sorely mistaken. What we witnessed at Fazanerija has unfortunately placed Slovenian club football on the ignominious pedestal. The incident in Murska Sobota has been reported by numerous foreign media outlets, including the British The Sun. In response to the match between Mura – Maribor, even the political figures, who are conventionally indifferent to Slovenian football, have now spoken out.
“Hooliganism and violence have no place in sports,” emphasized Prime Minister Robert Golob. Much more comprehensive was Matjaž Han, the Minister of Economic Development and Technology, who emphasized that instead of a celebration of football, we got an “unacceptable outbreak of hooliganism“.
Matjaž Han continued in a press release: “Yesterday’s event could have ended more tragically. There were also children and elderly people at the match. No one can remain indifferent to such behavior. Therefore, I call on all relevant institutions to investigate the unacceptable events, identify mistakes in ensuring the safety of participants in the event, and take decisive action against the perpetrators. I call on fan groups, sports clubs, umbrella sports, and other organizations involved in organizing and securing matches in Slovenia to, within their powers and activities, ensure appropriate security, especially by doing more to raise awareness and improve the culture of cheering and sports behavior.“
