The lamb in the field, the kite in the stands. The Romanian ultras created chaos at the Austria match. We are grabbing a new suspension
Romania was small in front of Austria, in the preliminaries for the 2026 World Cup, the score of 2-1 not reflecting the reality in the land. If on the lawn the players were the lamb, in the stands the fans of the tricolors made a show.

The national team was encouraged on the Ernst Happel stadium in Vienna by about 15,000 supporters, most of them with a civilized behavior. However, the ultras in the “united tricolor” group created chaos, lit dozens of torches in the beginning of the second half and chanting xenophobic slogans to the Hungarians.
We will defend ourselves/ earth, nation and history
“We are Romanian and we will defend ourselves, the earth, the nation and the history.chanted the ultras in the upper ring of the lawn. The trivialities against the Hungarian neighbors continued good minutes, so a new suspension of the land is grazing, since we are recidivists. However, Romania already has the land suspended for the first party organized by UEFA, after the incidents from the match with song with Kosovo, from the end of last year.
The Romanian ultras have deceived the austrian vigilance and introduced racist, xenophobic and far -right propaganda materials, as well as pyrotechnic materials on the Vienna stadium, so FRF will have to pay a consistent fine, probably with a suspension of the land or the closing of the stadium at a match.
