Serbian fans cause trouble in Lugano

The Swiss football club FC Lugano won their opening match in the UEFA Europa Conference League despite a ban imposed by the Uefa on fans of Red Star Belgrade due to disciplinary actions related to previous incidents involving Viktoria Pilsen. Despite the ban, many Serbian fans attended the game at the AIL Arena, some of whom were reportedly under the Uefa restriction. The club had to move approximately 50 people during the match due to their behavior. According to FC Lugano, they were required by Uefa regulations to provide 50 Category 1 tickets on the main stand for visiting fans, and Red Star Belgrade purchased additional tickets which were then sold to their supporters. During the first half, Serbian fans sang songs related to the conflict between Serbia and Kosovo, adding further tension to the event.
