Should Ajax F.C be fined by UEFA for displaying Israeli flag, as did scottish clubs for displaying palestinian flags
UEFA’s Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Committee took action after delegates flagged up the flag-flying in their reports from Celtic’s Champions League qualifier against KR Reykjavik and the Perth men’s home leg against Europa League rivals Spartak Trnava.
UEFA deem the Palestine flag a political symbol because the conflict with Israeli forces in the region is still ongoing.
A UEFA spokesman said: “Celtic and St Johnstone were sanctioned for infringement of Article 16 (2) (e).”
“The use of gestures, words, objects or any other means to transmit any message that is not fit for a sports event, particularly messages that are of a political, ideological, religious or provocative nature will not be tolerated.”
I’d like to know if this flag (Israeli flag), regularly rolled out by Ajax Amsterdam fans was instigating the crowd? Was that a provocative religious or political symbol? .whats the difference
