Involved in Eintracht lawsuit
UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin has announced that the European Football Union will not accept fan bans like Eintracht Frankfurt’s Champions League away game in Naples. “We have to say that if something like this happens, they won’t play there. Very simple: We will change the rules,” Ceferin told ZDF.
For the round of 16 second leg between the Bundesliga club and the Serie A leaders on Wednesday in Naples, the Ministry of the Interior in Rome initially banned the sale of tickets to all fans from Germany. After an urgent application by Eintracht was successful in court and the ban was declared invalid, the Prefecture of Naples on Sunday issued a ticket ban exclusively for people from the city of Frankfurt. A Frankfurt complaint against it was dismissed. Eintracht had previously announced that they would waive their away contingent of tickets.
“It’s not okay for the Italian authorities to decide that German fans are not allowed. This situation is intolerable. We urgently need to do something about it because the authorities’ decision is absolutely wrong,” added Ceferin, emphasizing that UEFA was involved in the Frankfurt lawsuit.
