Big words right away!
The Sports World reveals this Thursday that Real Sociedad, current 16e of the Europa League standings with seven points on the clock, was almost excluded from the European competition by UEFA. In any case, this is the threat brandished by the governing body of European football following the refusal of the Basque club to open the sale of tickets to Dutch supporters on the sidelines of the Ajax Amsterdam reception on November 28 ( 2-0), for fear of new excesses after those experienced during the reception of Anderlecht (1-2) on October 3.
At least 5% of stadium capacity for visitors
The mayor of San Sebastián Eneko Goia, at the origin of the initial refusal of the sale of tickets, reveals that “UEFA put pressure on the Basque club” so as to ensure the sale of tickets to Ajax fans, and thus comply with the obligation for a host club to allocate at least 5% of the stadium's capacity to visiting supporters. If Real Sociedad finally opened the saleEneko Goia underlines the good attitude of the Dutch club, which according to him would have “pays more attention to the people she sold the tickets to”adding that Ajax was already concerned by the subject following its reluctance to welcome Lazio fans (deemed hot) on December 12.
Just like that, we're always someone else's bad guy.
