Maribor will play in front of empty stands, but apparently with a lot of fans outside the stadium: A call to all supporters to come to Ljudski vrt

The Football Association of Slovenia (NZS) confirmed last week the punishment for Maribor, meaning the purple team will have to play four home games behind closed doors. However, Maribor is not willing to simply comply, especially considering that, in the opinion of the Styrians, the penalty was too severe. They will continue to defy it in a rather interesting way. Maribor has thus issued an “official call for the 1st gathering,” inviting spectators to still watch Friday’s match against Radomlje at the Ljudski vrt. Not from the stands, but outside the stadium.
“The legal battle is not over yet, but due to the current situation resulting from the imposed penalty, unfortunately, we cannot go to the stands. Therefore, Friday’s match against Radomlje will most likely take place without the presence of spectators, but we will organize a communal viewing on a big screen,” Maribor wrote on the club’s website.
The club from the Styrian capital continued: “We will meet on the southern platform, in large numbers. There will be good food, drinks, music, and an interesting accompanying program. Purple 1st Gathering: 4:00 PM start of communal warm-up, 5:30 PM match broadcast. The entrance fee is 5 EUR. Season ticket holders have free access to the fenced area on the southern platform, and we also offer them a complimentary drink of their choice. Tickets are available online and at the Purple Cabin.”
