ZAGREB: Hardcore supporters of Croatian club Hajduk Split, suspected of throwing flares during the match against the Czech Republic, have threatened on Facebook to also disrupt the next game against Spain.
UEFA have brought charges after at least 10 flares were lobbed from the Croatian corner of the Saint-Etienne stadium during the 2-2 draw with Czech Republic on Friday.
The incident sparked outrage in the Balkan nation with Croatia coach Ante Cacic branding the perpetrators “sports terrorists” and President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic describing them as “enemies of Croatia”.
The “Torcida Split 1950” supporters’ group posted a layout of the stadium in Bordeaux where Croatia play against Spain on Tuesday and their supposed plan of action. A caption on the map spoke of “another plan”.
Angry comments under the post read “you are a disgrace to this country” and “you should be ashamed and thanks to hooligans like you I’m ashamed of being a Croatian”.
Just hours before the start of the troubled match against the Czechs, Torcida had posted a similar map of the layout of the Saint-Etienne stadium.
