Beyond the serious incidents that surrounded the final of the Belgian football Cup last Sunday, the city of Brussels noted significant damage up to nearly 70,000 euros at the King Baudouin stadium, deplored the Sports Alderman on Tuesday evening, Florence Fronlin.
According to it, the stadium has literally been “Ravagé: Nearly 500 seats were torn off or vandalized; The walls were covered with graffiti and stickers, the athletics track was burned by smoke bombs, sanitary facilities were destroyed, and all the aisles were strewn with waste“, She detailed in a communication addressed to the Belga agency. For the first liberal alderman, at the end of the match,”The supporters of the two teams left the stadium in a catastrophic state. Without wanting to compare the severity of the events, this is an extension of violence in recent days. It has nothing to do with Sport“.
In addition, the players’ changing rooms were also left in a lamentable state, she added, deploring a lack of respect for the stadium cleaning teams.
In any event in the face of such facts, the alderman demands firm sanctions. “”Sport is a moment of gathering and conviviality. It is not eligible that a sports speaker is in such a state after the organization of a football match“She said, announcing her intention to send the invoice to the clubs.”It is certainly not the citizens to pay“She said.
