It was the last opportunity, the last weekend of the championship, for football fans to express their opinions vis-à-vis the World Cup in Qatar. During the match of the 15th day of Ligue 1 between PSG and Auxerre, AJA supporters unfurled a “Boycott Qatar 2022” banner in their parking lot visible throughout the Parc des Princes. The registration was then confiscated by stadium security officers, who intervened directly in the stands.
Before the end of the first half, these same supporters also made themselves heard in the bays of the Parisian enclosure, singing “Qatar, Qatar, we don’t care……. “. They were around a thousand supporters who made the trip to the Auxerre parking lot, to support the 15th in Ligue 1 for their last match before the big international break linked to the 2022 World Cup.
The Bundesliga continues to call for a boycott
In the other stadiums in Europe, it was the fans of Hertha Berlin, 15th in the Bundesliga, who stood out. All the supporters of a bend in the Olympiastadium brandished a “boycott Qatar” scarf during their team’s victory against Cologne (2-0) this Saturday afternoon. The Berlin enclosure had already stood out last week. “15,000 dead for 5,760 minutes of football! Shame on you ! “, as well as another” Boycott Qatar 2022 “had been registered on the various banners during the reception of Bayern Munich.
More moves like this could still take place in Germany this Sunday, with the Bundesliga the scene of protests by critics against Qatar. Again last week, before the entry of the Borussia Dortmund players and the start of the derby against Bochum, the kop of the Yellow Wall, the stand where the Ultras gather, had unfurled a huge banner along the entire length of the stand with the message “BOYCOTT QATAR 2022” written in yellow and black, the colors of the club.
