At the end of the match between Sweden and Norway, parts of Sweden’s heel chose to leave the match prematurely.
After Sweden supporters chanted “We hate Norway” several times.
There is nothing to stand behind, Andreas Recht, CEO of Gula Väggen.
The day before the red day and large crowds in the North ‘Derby’ between Sweden and Norway.
Norway then achieved its first victory over Sweden in 17 full years.
Norway took the lead after a controversial penalty kick by Erling Braut Haaland, who scored a lull 1-0 behind Robin Olsen.
The big star also made it 2-0 in the 69th minute after an invitation from Joachim Nilsson.
After his second goal, Haaland ran to the short side and hugged the Swedish heel.
An initiative that did not have good luck with supporters who responded by starting to sing “We hate Norway” in the choir.
Disagree
A moment after the heels started singing hate songs against Norway, part of the heels chose to leave the ring.
And some of those who chose to leave heels belong to the “yellow wall” support group.
Gula Väggen is a Swedish national team sports event organization that organizes excursions and supporter meetings.
– We left when there were 5-10 minutes left when the heels shouted “We hate Norway” for the third time. It’s the kind of supportive culture that we don’t fall behind. So we have full respect for not feeling like ourselves, says Andreas Recht, CEO of Gula Väggen.
According to Andreas Recht, the culture of hatred Gola Fagin could not stand behind it.
– In the whole Swedish pro culture, hate rams are part of the culture and seem to be an essential element. We look a lot at the whole Swedish culture, which I really admire. We’re a good distance away when it comes to doing tifo, rhymes, and the entire heel part. But hate is not beyond the yellow wall.
Who were the ones chanting hate speeches then?
– There were people in heels. But this part we do not represent.
‘Be in full respect’
Recht is surprised to hear the hate speech and says it’s new to him.
I would like to say that this is the first time you have heard this in the context of a national team. Then we are still in all the exact matches.
He also points out that it is up to everyone, what they choose to shout out to give Sweden support.
I respect the fact that some people think it’s part of the endorsement, but we don’t.
I tried to silence the rhyme of hate
Camp Sweden, a not-for-profit support association that is part of the Football Supporters Europe network, agrees that hate speech does not belong during international matches.
– He shouldn’t have shouted “we hate Norway”, which has happened many times. No idea who they are, but it’s definitely not okay, says Åsa Kjersel, a member of Camp Sweden and continues:
We tried to silence him with “We love Sweden.” This is what we should do if hate speech starts. Hate is not something we stand for and have never had. He is on the football team but not with us.
On the other hand, Kjersel did not realize that anyone was leaving because of hate speech.
– I didn’t see it, but there were quite a few who left there at the end because the game wasn’t going well. There was a bit of chaos around the arena.
