The All Boys club of the Professional Football League in Argentina will have to play its home games without spectators and ten of its supporters will not be able to attend sporting events, according to the sanctions decided after anti -Semitic acts during a meeting.
The sanction against the second division club was taken by the disciplinary court of the Argentine Football Federation (AFA), and that concerning supporters by the Ministry of Security. In both cases, the measures are enacted for an indefinite period.
The sanction imposed on the club will concern all the second division matches in which All Boys plays at home, according to the disciplinary measure published Thursday evening by the local press.
The club also expressed its disapproval
These decisions come after a match at the end of June in Buenos Aires in which club supporters All Boys are accused of having engaged in anti -Semitic acts.
In videos on social networks, several of them are seen wearing a coffin covered with the Israeli flag, waving Iranian and Palestinian flags, before a match against Atlanta.
The coffin was painted in the colors of Atlanta, club of Buenos Aires located in the district of Villa Crespo where a major Jewish community lives. Before and during this match, All Boys supporters also distributed leaflets with anti -Semitic accents.
During the meeting, a drone flew over the stadium by sporting a Palestinian flag and some supporters of All Boys chanted “the one who does not jump comes from Israel”.
The AFA had reacted by expressing its “total and absolute rejection of odious acts of anti -Semitism perpetrated by supporters of the All Boys club”.
The club had also expressed its disapproval, while stressing “the exemplary behavior of the vast majority of members and supporters” present.
