The world is echoing Torcida's disgraceful behaviour: they chanted "Get up, Adolf!"

In Split, Croatia, a football match between Hajduk Split and Ajax was interrupted by pyrotechnics, leading to the game being halted for 12 minutes. The home team, Hajduk Split, won 2-1, but the victory was overshadowed by the behavior of the Torcida fan group, who displayed antisemitic chants such as 'Zdrobite, zdrobite Jude,' 'Auschwitz, Auschwitz,' 'Vstani, Adolf,' and 'Dajmo, dajmo, ustaši.' They also carried a cross with the word 'Ajax' written on it. Israeli media highlighted the historical connection between Ajax and the Jewish community in Amsterdam, noting that some Ajax fans use Jewish symbols as part of their identity. The Croatian police confirmed they recorded chants indicative of criminal behavior and are conducting an investigation to identify those responsible. According to reports, members of Torcida allegedly attacked Ajax fans on the Riva, and police intervened to prevent further clashes. Hajduk issued an apology for the actions of some fans who disrupted the match with pyrotechnics.

After shouts of "Auschwitz" and "Stand up", Adolf Plenković called for action

Croatian football fans, known for their association with fascism and the Ustasha movement, faced criticism after incidents involving racist chants during matches. Last year, UEFA penalized Croatia for such behavior, including fines and banning fans from two games. Prime Minister Andrej Plenković condemned these actions, calling for police investigations and legal action against those responsible. During a recent match between Dinamo Zagreb and Ajax, tensions escalated when Croatian fans used antisemitic slogans like 'Auschwitz' and 'Gazi Zidove,' while also chanting 'Adolf, Vstani.'
