After Nice-Marseille, the Lyon-Marseille match was interrupted Sunday, November 21 because of the violence of the supporters. Faced with this phenomenon, how are our European neighbors reacting?
Dimitri Payet filed a complaint Monday, November 22 against his alleged attacker. This one will be judged in immediate appearance. The OM player received a bottle of water on the head during the match Sunday against OL, club punished at least one match behind closed doors. Violence in stadiums is increasingly present in France and in Europe. Faced with this, the answers are diverse. England, the cradle of football and hooliganism, requires those sentenced to report to the police station on match nights. The supporters are forced to sit in the stands, where the video surveillance is massive. The country hit the wallet with an increase price tickets.
In Germany, it is more preventive. There is a dialogue between the fans, the clubs and the police. Respectful fans are put forward to marginalize the most violent, the stadiums are modernized for more security. In Belgium, two repressive measures: high fines and stadium bans that can go up to ten years. In Italy, it’s very repressive, but not necessarily effective. Stadium bans can go up to ten years, they can even be preventives. Prevoking the interruption of a match can cost imprisonment and there is an identity card for supporters, but it is not only violence in stadiums in Italy, there is also racism which can prevent matches to unfold.
