The Swiss have been bidding for Hajduk, paying special attention to Torcida: "Recently they have caused confusion"

Swiss media have focused significant attention on the upcoming Conference League match between FC Thun and HNK Hajduk Split, primarily due to recent controversies involving Hajduk fans. The Swiss portal 20 Minuten labeled the fixture a high-risk encounter after citing reports of Nazi slogans and antisemitic chants by parts of the Hajduk support during a pre-match parade against Ajax. Consequently, the cantonal police in Bern have designated the game as high-risk and plan visible security presence around the stadium and city center. In addition to the security concerns, Swiss outlets noted that FC Thun faces several squad issues, including the serious knee injury of midfielder Fabia Saiz and the suspension of Patrick Kristal. While Radio BeO highlighted the historical significance of the Torcida fan group, other Swiss broadcasters like SRF covered the reactions within Croatia, including comments from President Zoran Milanovic regarding the controversial chanting.
