Fans of Serbia were seen in viral footage fighting a black man and forcing him off a train in Germany on June 20, 2024.
This incident occurred amid the 2024 European Championship which is ongoing in the European nation.
Apart From Fighting The Black Man, Fans Of Serbia Also Spat On Him
These fans were said to have also spat on the black man, as he fought back against the illicit act of oppression.
Recall the national team of Serbia have also threatened to quit Euro 2024 due to chants by fans of Albania and Croatia.
A section of supporters who attended the 2-2 draw involving both countries in Hamburg on Wednesday, July 19, 2024, could be heard taking part in offensive chants aimed at the Eagles of Serbia.
UEFA’s Hammer Falls On The Eagles
Moreover, Serbia have been punished for breaking UEFA rules in their opening game against England on Sunday, June 16, 2024.
They were fined cumulatively €14,500 for their actions – with €4,500 being for their fans throwing objects onto the pitch, while another €10,000 was for them “transmitting a provocative message not fit for a sports event.”
It appears fans of Serbia have been grossly unruly at the 2024 European Championship despite the country’s failure to secure a win after two group matches.
Serbia In Euro 2024
Their qualification berth for the next round is looking bleak, as they currently occupy the 4th spot in Group C, with 1 point from 2 matches.
Dragan Stojkovic’s side can still qualify for the knockout stages, however, they will have to defeat Denmark in their last group game, while hoping that Slovenia does not beat the Three Lions.
England currently sit at the summit of Group C with 4 points from 2 matches, 2 points behind Denmark and Slovenia, who are placed 2nd and 3rd respectively.
Their last group game in the 2024 European Championship will take place simultaneously with that of Gareth Southgate’s side on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, by 08:00 PM (WAT).
Euro 2024 has offered us magnificent scenes, however, there has also been a few distasteful actions.
Fans Of Turkey And Georgia Seen Fighting In Euro 2024
Notably at the Westfalenstadion in Dortmund, fans of Turkey and Georgia were also seen trading blows ahead of kick-off.
German cops were called to action before activities at the stadium returned to normalcy on a rainy date in Dortmund, with concerns over the game being postponed also mooted.
Anyway, the encounter went on as scheduled, and Turkey defeated an unlucky Georgia by 3-2.
It will be interesting to see if UEFA will release a statement regarding the recent fight between Serbian fans and the black man, who was forced out of a train dishearteningly.
It is difficult to tell if what occurred in the footage was simply due to racism or basically down to one party brawling with the other due to other unknown reasons.
Definitely, the difference in skin colour will be spotlighted, as footballing enthusiasts continue to wonder about the exact reason for the incident.
Serbia occupy the 33rd spot on the FIFA rankings and they parade some notable names, including; Chelsea’s Djordje Petrovic, Al Hilal duo of Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Aleksandar Mitrovic, alongside Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus and AC Milan’s Luka Jovic.
