The violence in the stadiums has cost human lives, serious injuries but also the property of both the citizens and our country. Fans, athletes and referees lose control by committing acts of violence with unwarranted hatred. Fans of the teams are very often punished by the federations and can not attend the stadium to see their team. All these events prevent many fans from going to the stadiums, as a result of which we see stadiums with few people, which is a bad spectacle and discredits football. This behavior takes place not only in big events but also in smaller matches such as the B 'Category match, of the Paralimni Youth Union with Omonia on May 29th.
On the occasion of Saturday episodes we remember…
May 29, 1985 and the Hazel Stadium in Brussels was filled with fans of Liverpool and Juventus, who would be competing in a long-awaited match for the final of the European Football Champions League.
The fatality happened one hour before the start of the match when, the fans of the English team violate a railing that separated them from the Juventus fans, who are leaning back against a wall. Those near the wall were crushed by the pressure of thousands of people. The wall eventually collapsed, and many people climbed to safety. Many others, however, lost their lives or were seriously injured, writing one of the darkest pages in the history of football.
39 people lost their lives and more than 600 were injured. The game was eventually played, despite the disaster, in order to avoid further violence.
The nationalities of the 39 fans who lost their lives were: 32 Italian Juventus fans, 4 Belgians, 2 French and one Northern Irishman.
Hazel Tragedy was one of the worst football tragedies.
Stadium violence is a social phenomenon. It is the continuation of violence off the field. To say that I will eliminate hooliganism is as utopian as saying that you will stop the violence in society.
The "Iron Lady", Margaret Thatcher, is often mentioned for her extreme stance on the fight against hooliganism in Old Albion.
Then, he decided to exhaust his strictness, proposing a five-year ban for each English team from UEFA competitions and additional measures in order to eliminate all forms of hooliganism on the "Island". The English Football Association ratified the suggestions of the then English Prime Minister, effectively overtaking the UEFA ax. "We have to fight hooliganism and cross the sea again to play in European competitions, only if and when we end up with this problem," said Margaret Thatcher.
Denmark: Those who take part in episodes do not return to the country.
England: Those British who have been convicted of hooliganism at home or abroad can not leave the country. Valid since 1999.
France: Since the 1998 World Cup, group arrests of fans have been legalized, but no restrictive measures are in place.
Germany: Europe's toughest legislation "offers" a wide range of sentences to judges, including the confiscation of passports and police IDs.
