Hungarian football association bans rowdy fans from sports events
The Hungarian Football Association (MLSZ) has banned fans identified as “renitent” at a recent Hungary-England match in Budapest, from attending further matches for two years.
Â
MLSZ spokesman JenÅ‘ SÃpos told MTI on Thursday that an investigation was under way to identify others that behaved violently during and after the September 2 match in the Puskas Arena, which England won 4-0. Â
Â
According to earlier reports,
Â
a group of Hungarian fans jeered at the British team taking the knee
Â
as a gesture against racism at the beginning of the match, while they threw plastic cups and other objects into the field after each goal.
Â

Â
FIFA also launched an investigation into the incident and decided that the Hungarian team must play the next world championship qualifier behind closed doors, and suspended a similar decision for a further match for two years.
Maria Von Theresa is noticeable by her absence. Still think the ‘fans’ were demonstrating freedom of speech?!
