Never before in Slovenia has a football match been interrupted and then finally canceled due to inappropriate behavior by fans. Slovenian fans are certainly not angels, but what happened at Fazanerija undoubtedly hit rock bottom. Seven injured individuals are something no one can or should turn a blind eye to. After a night’s sleep, reactions came from Slovenian politics – first Robert Golob and Matjaž Han, and now the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Minister Boštjan Poklukar has already requested a police report regarding the security at the match in Murska Sobota, and he announced a meeting with relevant institutions to discuss how to prevent such events in the future.
Statement from the Ministry of Internal Affairs:
Yesterday, on February 18, 2024, a football match of the 1st SNL was played in Murska Soboti between the football teams NŠ Mura and NK Maribor. The event also involved the prohibited use of pyrotechnics, resulting in several injuries, and the match was subsequently interrupted.
Minister Boštjan Poklukar, through the Directorate of Police and other security tasks, has requested a police report on their measures related to the security of the football match in Murska Soboti.
Minister Poklukar strongly condemns any form of violence, whether in sports, as in this case, or elsewhere. We must have zero tolerance for violence. Therefore, this week, Minister of Internal Affairs Boštjan Poklukar and Minister of Economic Development, Tourism, and Sport Matjaž Han are expected to convene a meeting with relevant institutions to discuss how to prevent such acts in the future.
