Football violence is increasingly shifting from European fans to African fans

The World Cup was meant to be a celebration of football, but violence has once again emerged in European cities during matches. While violence is not limited to any particular nationality or group, recent incidents involving fans of African national teams have drawn attention. In The Hague, Moroccan supporters celebrated their victory over the Netherlands with enthusiasm, but the celebrations turned violent, leading to clashes with police and arrests. Similarly, in Copenhagen, a Swedish man was seriously injured during a violent incident at a match between Norway and Ivory Coast. Witnesses reported that a group of young men of African descent did not come to watch the game but to cause trouble, leading to escalating conflict.
