An unpleasant event took place in distant Australia, where the media's attention was drawn to the rivalry and controversies between Serbia and Albania.
We are talking about the fans of the Northern Eagles football team in Melbourne, Australia, who have many ardent Albanian supporters and have been banned from watching their team play in the stadium against a team that has Serbian fans, because of fear of violence.
Panorama Sport writes that the police of Victoria has given a decision for this football match, for the supporters of the team that also includes a coach and a part of the players from Albania, fearing a clash between the fans that could end in physical violence .
ALBANIAN FANS - Supporters of the North Sunshine Eagles team, most of whom are Albanians, have been excluded from the match against the Springvale White Eagles, who count many Serbs in their fan base. The two European countries have a troubled relationship due to a series of historical incidents and political clashes, as well as a soccer match between the two national teams being abandoned in 2016 after players clashed with fans.
THE COACH - Meanwhile, the coach of the Northern Eagles, the Albanian Ben Isai speaking to "Herald Sun" said that he was disappointed by this drastic step. "It's sad that these games are classified as high risk because I understand the political side of it and all that stuff, but at the end of the day we're trying to play football. "Having large crowds support their team in a passionate way, there's nothing wrong with that as long as it's restrained, which is 98 percent of the time," he said.
Isai added that fans of other clubs in the Premier League 3 competition have been guilty of bad behavior this season. As for the match, played yesterday, it ended with the victory of the Northern Eagles with the result 2-3.
