Croatian Football Federation Fined for Swastika on Pitch

A court in the Croatian city of Split fined the Football Federation and its director for not properly inspecting a pitch on which a swastika had been imprinted before an international match in 2015.

Almost three years after a swastika was imprinted with bleach on a football pitch before an international match at a stadium in Split, the city’s magistrates’ court on Thursday fined the Croatian Football Federation, CFF, and its executive director Damir Vrbanovic.

In June 2015, before a Euro 2016 qualifying match between Croatia and Italy’s national teams in Split, a 14-metre swastika appeared on the pitch.
