Following Inter’s stadium ban after the FIGC caught some Nerazzurri fans chanting racial slurs toward Koulibaly in their 1-0 win over Napoli, the San Siro is partially re-open just in time for Inter’s huge Coppa Italia clash against Lazio.
Tonight as many fans as possible will be needed to support the team who are enduring a tough patch of form. Only the Curva Nord remains closed as it was the Curva who racially abused the Senegalese centre-back.
Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport reveals that: “25,000 tickets were sold yesterday, of which Lazio’s ultras were not counted among as a form of solidarity between the two fan groups.”
Furthermore, due to the lack of ticket sales, the second tier will be filled with BUU (Brothers Universally United) advertisements as part of Inter’s longer campaign against racial discrimination in football. The club has prioritized this message, a message close to their foundation over the revenue from ticket sales.
