Union Berlin boss Dirk Zingler slams UEFA ahead of Europa League match against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. Zingler calls it a 'catastrophic development'. The criticism from Zingler comes after a decree by the Italian Ministry of the Interior, which prohibits SSC Neapel from selling tickets to Frankfurt fans for the return match on March 15. Zingler said that UEFA must take action and not be taken for a ride. Union Berlin itself has recently received a fine of 30,000 euros and a fan ban on probation. The reason is the use of pyrotechnics in the 0-0 draw in the round of 16 in Amsterdam. Zingler writes in the stadium magazine for the Euro game that the club has appealed against the UEFA verdict because it finds it disproportionate. Collective penalties at the expense of many innocent people are wrong. Other groups and people must not be dominated and bear consequences that they do not deserve. Zingler emphasizes that the club will not tolerate rule violations of this kind. The criticism of Zingler towards UEFA is an important point in the debate about safety and fairness in football. Union Berlin will face Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League on Wednesday.
