Despite the fact that in Slovenia, organizing football matches without adequate security support is not possible, it often happens that fans bring a large amount of pyrotechnics to the stadiums anyway. In reality, security checks seem to be more for show, with little actual impact. Stewards and security personnel are often helpless when faced with larger groups of fans, and the police only intervene when something drastic occurs. This was also the case on Sunday at Fazanerija when the police had a lot of work dealing with disorderly conduct after unfortunate events in the second half of the match between Mura and Maribor.
As reported by the headquarters of the Murska Sobota Police Directorate, several criminal offenses were evidently committed during the match at Fazanerija. Additionally, during the intervention among the fans of the club from the Styrian capital, they discovered both additional pyrotechnic devices and prohibited substances.
“Police officers, in the course of their duties related to the football match between NŠ Mura and NK Maribor, uncovered prohibited substances in two cases and prohibited pyrotechnics in two cases. In the middle of the second half, there was the prohibited use of pyrotechnics by as yet unknown offenders among the members of organized fan groups, resulting in injuries to 5 players of NŠ Mura and the conditioning coach. They sought medical assistance at the Murska Sobota hospital, and the extent of the injuries will be known later. The seats in the stands of the stadium were also damaged, and an investigation is underway into the suspicion of multiple criminal offenses,” stated the Murska Sobota Police Directorate.
