Peluza Sud Dinamo chose to protest at the match in the quarterfinals of the Romanian Cup between the “dogs” and Metalul Buzău. The Dynamo ultras did not enter the game with the Buzoians because of the decision of the officials of the red-and-white club.
The reason why they chose to protest is the fact that Dinamo officials did not allow them to sit on the southern lawn of the “Arc de Triumf” stadium. The supporters of Metalul Buzău were placed there
Peluza Sud protested at Dinamo – Metalul Buzău, in the Romanian Cup
The sector usually occupied by Peluza Sud Dinamo
Normally when Dinamo performed at the “Arc de Triumf” arena, the South Lawn occupied a sector in the second stand of the stadium, the south lawn being intended for guests. At matches without interest and in which a large presence of guests is not announced, the ultras request to sit on the south lawn of the stadium.
Although today's match did not arouse much interest among the Buzoi supporters, nevertheless, the Dynamo ultras were not allowed to occupy the seats in the South Lawn. For this reason, they did not show up for the quarter-finals of the Romanian Betano Cup. The sector was occupied, instead, by only a few spectators who supported Metalul Buzău.
The game did not attract much interest even for Dynamo fans. The “Arc de Triumf” was more empty than full for the crucial confrontation in the quarterfinals of the Romanian Cup. 2917 people came to the match at the arena in the center of Bucharest.
Dinamo fans from Peluza Sud Dinamo are used to protests when the club management did not let them position themselves where they wanted. Every time the group of ultras was moved to another sector, they boycotted the match. The first time when Dinamo's management accepted that the Dinamo South Lawn be in the southern lawn of the “Arcul de Triumf” stadium was at a match with Gloria Buzău, from August 2024.
