Zemun set huge ticket prices for the match of the young team. OFK Beograd reacted, and then Zemun published a harsh statement.
FK Zemun and OFK Beograd have the most intense rivalry in Serbian football this spring. They were direct rivals in the battle for promotion from the third to the second league, in which it is OFK triumphed and entered the First Leagueand the obvious intolerance of the former super league players can be seen in the new “round” of that conflict.
Before the duel between the Zemun youth team and OFK Belgrade, which will decide who will go to the best league in Serbia, Zemun has set ticket prices of 5,000 dinars per ticket for “romantic” fans. In addition, the people of Zemun emphasized the necessary condition – that a minimum of 200 tickets be sold. “Entrance to the stadium will not be possible without a ticket,” the club from Ugrinovacka Street emphasized on that occasion.
OFK Belgrade “posted” this decision on its official channels on social networks and called the decision “shameful”. “This is another act against football, against sports, against fair play, nothing new from FK Zemun,” Karaburma announced.
During the evening, Zemun spoke out once again: – This has nothing to do with the fans, but with the management of the football club OFK Belgrade, because they demanded that an ordinary match in the second tier of the youth competition be declared a high-risk match, probably fearing for the safety of their players. . Since the existence of our club, matches of younger categories have never been declared as high-risk matches. If now because of this they are asking 70 members of the security service to lock the stadium 24 hours before the match, what more do we need to keep quiet and say welcome to our stadium for free and enjoy. We are not the real address to which these poison arrows in the comments are directed. “If there were no calls for a high-risk match, the parents of the players would come to the stadium and most people would not even know that the game was being played that day,” Zemun said in a statement.
