The Basel fans are not allowed to go to the second leg of the quarter-finals of the Conference League. The French authorities officially announced this on Wednesday morning. FCB doesn’t like that at all. In a press release, the club writes about an “arbitrary act”.
Angry and extremely disappointed with this decision. “With OGC Nice, FC Basel was attracted to an opponent whose fan base has no particular rivalry with that of FCB, which was confirmed by last Thursday’s peaceful first leg. That the authorities in Nice classify the second leg as a risky match (level 4 of 5) FCB is not clear.”
“Hope Dies Last”
The French justify their decision, among other things, with the fact that a strike on April 20 will paralyze the city and therefore the safety of FCB fans cannot be guaranteed. That is a “thin pretense”, the FCB website says. That is why he has now taken legal action and even involved the Swiss ambassador in Paris.
It is highly questionable whether FCB can still take its fans to Nice. “It is currently difficult to estimate whether (legal) means that FCB has been stubbornly deploying for days can still have an effect in the short term. But hope dies last.”
The authorities had expected some 1,500 Basel fans in advance. Some trailers would already be in the southern French city.
