Coulthard's Jaw Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Serbia have threatened to pull out of Euro 2024 over chanting between fans at the match between Croatia and Albania on Wednesday. Fans could be heard chanting about the killing of Serbians during the 2-2 draw in the Group B match. The general secretary of the Football Association of Serbia, Jovan Surbatovic, has called for the strongest sanction to be taken. He told the Serbian state-owned broadcaster RTS: "What happened is scandalous and we will ask [European governing body] Uefa for sanctions, even if it means not continuing the competition." Serbia are in Group C and began the tournament with a 1-0 defeat by England on Sunday. Surbatovic said that he was "sure they will be punished" following Uefa's decision on Wednesday to cancel the credentials of Kosovar journalist, Arlind Sadiku. Sadiku made a nationalist double-handed eagle gesture towards Serbia fans during the game against England. The gesture mimics the eagle on Albania's national flag, which can inflame tensions between Serbian nationalists and ethnic Albanians, who make up the vast majority of Kosovo's population. "We will demand from Uefa to punish the federations of both selections," Surbatovic added. "We do not want to participate in that, but if Uefa does not punish them, we will think how will we proceed." The BBC has contacted Serbia and Uefa for further comment.

SteveUK Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 I assume the result will be some future matches played without fans allowed for those nations, would be difficult to implement in the current tournament wouldn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
