Unusual sanction in France. A 6 year old boy, fan of Le Havrewas disqualified until the beginning of next year for throwing paper cups and balls from the stands during the match against Reims which ended 0-3 and played on November 10th. In addition to him, the parent who had purchased tickets for the match was also banned from entering the stadium. Already notified by post that they would not be able to attend the match against Angers, which took place last Sunday, the two will also not be able to take part in the upcoming home matches against Strasbourg (15 December) and Lens (12 January).
The paper balls didn’t hit anyone
The young fan was spotted by the surveillance cameras inside the stadium as he threw the objects in the direction of his friend. The paper cups and balls fell onto the ground, shortly after the fences and before the advertising hoardings, but not onto the playing field and did not hit anyone.
The League: “The rules apply to everyone, even children”
“It’s a bit sad to give such a sanction but we are obliged to act to educate fans in general on these issues and in the face of exacerbated behaviour. We must raise awareness among those who accompany us and demonstrate that the stadium must remain a place of celebration and not We remind the club that the rules of the stadium and the competition apply to everyone, adults and children, and that the sanction could have covered the entire current season”, explained the disciplinary commission of the Football League (Lfp) in a note. .
