Juventus are threatened with a fine and the closing of the stands due to the behavior of the fans

The incident involving Juventus fans before the home match of the 5th round of Serie A was included in the report of the inspectors of the Federal Prosecutor's Office of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC). Before the start of the meeting, there was to be a moment of silence in honor of the former Inter and Italian footballer Sandro Mazzola, who died on September 19 at the age of 83. Some Juventus fans refused to join the commemoration of the legendary player. According to Tuttosport, some fans turned their backs to the field, and instead of observing a minute of silence, started chanting the names of former Juventus players. The incident must now be reviewed by the FIGC sports referee. According to the results of the review, the club may be subject to disciplinary punishment. Possible sanctions include a monetary fine or the closing of the fan stand from which the shouts were heard. Juventus has already reacted to the behavior of its fans and distanced itself from the incident. The club emphasized that no sporting rivalry can be an excuse for disrespect during the moment of silence. Sandro Mazzola died on September 19 and his funeral was held on September 21. The legendary striker spent most of his career at Inter and became one of the most famous football players in the history of the Milan club.
