Three amateur matches disrupted, last weekend alone in Alsace
During the last weekend, between Friday November 8 and Sunday November 10, several incidents were noted on our amateur football fields in Alsace. A meeting even had to be interrupted between FCE Reichshoffen and SC Roppenheim, for racist remarks came down from the stands: “a match stopped for racist remarks is a decision that must leave its mark”estimates the “mister security” of the Alsatian District.
And from now on, it’s “zero tolerance”, promises Jacky Humler: “the District is in contact with the police to discuss these subjects” with the ambition of organizing prevention operations aimed at the general public or to better punish perpetrators of violence.
