Under the framework of the “Direct Prevention of Fan Violence” project, CHC observers monitored the games of the 11th round of the HT first Croatian soccer league, and based on direct insight and collected data recorded the following events.
NK INTER ZAPREŠIĆ – HNK RIJEKA 1:2
The match of the 11. round of the HT first Croatian soccer league between NK Inter Zaprešić and HNK Rijeka was played on 19.10.2018 at the ŠRC Zaprešić stadium in Zaprešić, in front of around 630 people, from which about 50 were members of Armada (HNK Rijeka).
The match was characterized by vulgar and chauvinistic comments from the stands, while most of them came from NK Inter Zaprešić fans, as members of Armada spent the first halftime in silence, without cheering. Armada members ‘activated’ in the second halftime but there were no offensive messages in their cheering.
In 9.minute Inter fans chanted:”Filthy Rijeka, you stinky city, I will kill half of your Armada. Stinky Rijeka, you are full of Serbs, don’t worry Rijeka, there are still plenty of willows.”
During 15’, 39’ and 72’ Inter Zaprešić fans chanted:”We didn’t come here for the scores, we came just to fuck around, we don’t give a fuck about the weather, we’re here to rape your wives.”
In 19’ Inter fans chanted:”Who doesn’t like yellow color can go fuck his mother”.
Besides all of the above, the match was followed by an array of profanities from both sides of the stands.
NOTE: After the match ended, while the newly appointed HNK Rijeka coach Igor Bišćan was giving an interview for the media, a lot of profanities and insults came from the stands where Armada was located, all of which were pointed towards Bišćan. Among others, a chant:”Resignation, resignation” could be heard.
