Football Australia to issue life ban to supporter for fascist salute in Australian Cup final

Football Australia has issued a life ban to a spectator who performed a fascist salute at Saturday’s Australian Cup final.

Football Australia (FA) said in a statement that it “has adopted a zero tolerance policy for disrespectful and aggressive behavior at sanctioned events”.

The spectators have not been named, but have been identified by Football Australia.

The FA said it would continue to contact police to identify other individuals “who may have engaged in similar anti-social behavior during the Australian Cup final”.

The ban is effective immediately and applies to all football Australia-sponsored matches, including national team matches, A-League, Australian Cup and NPL matches.

Saturday’s showpiece event between Sydney United 58 and MacArthur FC at Western Sydney Stadium was marred by a number of incidents in the crowd, including disruption to the pre-match welcome to country ceremony.

Footage showed some supporters giving fascist salutes and holding banners with nationalist symbols.

A group of Sydney United supporters sang Za Dom — spremni! (For the Fatherland — Ready!): A chant associated with the far-right Croatian Ustaša movement, which committed war crimes, including genocide, in cooperation with the Italian and German fascist regimes during World War II.
