Ferencváros Supporters Attacked by Masked Hooligans in Poland Ahead of Europa League Qualifier
A group of Ferencváros supporters was attacked by masked individuals in Poland hours before their UEFA Europa League qualifying fixture against Górnik Zabrze, according to local reports. The violent incident took place at a local pizzeria where members of the Fradi Pirates supporter group had gathered, leaving one Hungarian fan with a broken leg after a fall during the scramble.
Local law enforcement responded swiftly to the disturbance, though no immediate arrests were made at the scene before the perpetrators fled.
Incident at the Local Pizzeria
According to reports from television network TVN24, the confrontation erupted when masked assailants descended upon the establishment housing the visiting supporters. Patrons who had no connection to the football fixture were also present inside the venue when the attackers began hurling various objects at the building, shattering windows and creating chaos.
Police units arrived quickly following emergency calls, but the aggressive group had already dispersed before officers could secure arrests. In the panic and rush to escape the flying projectiles, one Ferencváros fan fell and sustained a broken leg. Medical assistance was required at the scene, though authorities have not released further details regarding the injured supporter’s condition.
Stakes on the Pitch in Zabrze
The street-level violence preceded a high-stakes athletic showdown on the pitch. The two clubs met for the second leg of their Europa League qualifying tie, following a tightly contested 0–0 draw in the opening match at the Groupama Aréna in Budapest. With the aggregate score locked level, the fixture in Poland carried immense weight for both sides’ European ambitions.
