European Football Association
(UEFA), which will close the Stožice stadium in the event of a new breach of the rules. Olimpija does not want this, of course, and the Ljubljana club’s management has already publicly called on all fans to behave properly at tonight’s match against Galatasaray, not to throw anything on the pitch and, above all, to stay in their seats in the stands throughout the match.
“All participants of the football match between NK Olimpija and Galatasaray SK are hereby informed that throwing objects and breaking onto the pitch is strictly prohibited. Violations will be strictly sanctioned and prosecuted, and offenders will be removed from the event area,“, Olimpija made it clear that it had to pay a fine of €20,000 for inappropriate behaviour of fans at the last European home match. UEFA has also imposed a suspended sanction of a one-match stadium closure if the unpleasant scenes are repeated over the next two years.
Igor Barišić, the club’s director, also pointed out beforehand that “Despite the immense joy, the emotional charge must not overwhelm us. Trespassing on the pitch and throwing objects on the green are unfortunately not sports events. The sanctions for doing so are relentless and we simply cannot escape them. We would therefore like to kindly ask everyone to look forward to seeing you in the stands of the Stožice in the company of friends, acquaintances and other close people.“
