⌛🏆 With just one day to go, serious concerns remain about whether @fifa’s promise of a safe, welcoming, & inclusive @FIFAWorldCup will become a reality.
🔗 Full statement from FSE & our @Sport_Rights partners: bit.ly/4eySU1V
💰 Young people aren’t bored of watching professional football. They’re priced out of watching professional football by the very clubs who claim to be acting in their interests.
⚖️ Exhibit A: An €80 #UCL away ticket at Real Madrid.
🗣 “Enough is enough.”
❌ FSE wholly opposes plans to create an illegitimate & unfair breakaway #SuperLeague. Governing bodies must act now to stop a handful of wealthy clubs from ruining the game.
FSE is deeply concerned to see the return of fans being fenced in at tomorrow’s French Cup Final.
Tragedies from the past have shown how dangerous such measures are.
Solidarity with @A_N_Supporters, who are urgently seeking for the removal of the fences.
430+ groups. 27 nations. 3 million European fans represented.
One message: #KeepFootballHome
We stand united against the relocation of domestic league games abroad.
4 years after the super league, football faces a new existential threat.

🚨 CONFIRMED: Return of away fans at UEFA club competitions.
✅ FSE can confirm that away fans will be permitted to attend European club competitions matches from next week.
(local restrictions & travel requirement might still apply)
📣 ICYMI: FSE is calling for the blanket ban on away fans at UEFA club competitions to be lifted.
❌ Football fans shouldn’t be subject to specific exclusions, which amount to a form of unequal treatment.

Fans at the Champions League final bear no responsibility for tonight’s fiasco.
Thousands are still trapped outside the stadium, remaining calm in the face of a completely unreasonable situation.
We urge the relevant authorities to ensure the safety of all fans.
🗣 ICYMI: “These problems can never occur again at a European final.”
🏆 Last month, FSE, @eintracht_eng & @RangersFC issued a joint statement criticising the organisation of this year’s #UEL final.

Exclusive: In private meeting with UEFA members, Gianni Infantino launches attack on enemies in push for biennial WCs:
"The enemy of football is not the World Cup or is not FIFA but it is other activities that young boys and young girls are running after"

FIFA continues its cycle of destruction against the greatest tournament on earth.
Horrendous for supporters, disregards the environment and rolls the red carpet out to a host for 2034 with an appalling human rights record.
It's the end of the World Cup as we know it.

🗣 “We demand that you drop your reckless plans.”
✍️ Fans’ groups from clubs on the @ECAEurope Board have written an open letter to chairman Andrea Agnelli opposing #UCL reforms. FSE has signed the letter & fully supports their stance.
#StopUCLReforms
🗣 “We do not want or need more World Cups.”
🌍 National fans’ groups from across the 6 football confederations have issued a joint statement opposing plans to hold the World Cup every two years.

📣 The decision to ban #Rangers fans from travelling to Lyon is an unacceptable restriction on freedom of movement & blatantly illegal.
🇫🇷 Together with @A_N_Supporters, we have filed an emergency proceeding with the French Administrative Supreme Court.
Un arrêté préfectoral limite à 2.000 supporters des Rangers le déplacement à Lyon.
Manifestement, le ministre n'a lu que le titre "interdiction" et non l'article 2 "jauge à 2.000".
Donc le ministre va publier, la veille du match, un arrêté d'interdiction totale.
One week ahead of their away #UEL game against Rapid Vienna, & with 1,700 tickets already sold & travel arrangements made, #WestHam fans have been banned from attending the game.
Disproportionate. Unacceptable. Time to end collective punishment, @UEFA.
