Eintracht Frankfurt has advised its supporters not to go around Naples with scarves, shirts or flags and even to take a hotel room alone for the return match of the Champions League round of 16 on 15 March. To launch the message, the German club used its official website and motivated it with “reports” of attacks made on other foreign fans already hosted in the Campania capital. The warning is contained in the instructions for purchasing tickets in the away sector, on sale for 66 euros. The request for coupons will exceed availability and the Bundesliga club has warned that it will give priority to members of the organized fan base.
