Derogatory Hebrew Sign Against Hapoel Tel Aviv Appears at European Match and Is Quickly Removed
During a match in Miskolc where Hapoel Tel Aviv hosted Katowice, a controversial incident occurred involving fans from different countries. Approximately 2,000 Hapoel Tel Aviv supporters traveled from Israel, while around 600 fans came from Poland to support the opposing team. Alongside these groups, a neutral stand was designated for Hungarian fans. During the game, a sign written in Hebrew appeared in the neutral section, containing a derogatory message against Hapoel Tel Aviv, reading "Hapoel *na". The origin and affiliation of those who hung the sign remain unclear. However, the management of Hapoel Tel Aviv promptly addressed the issue, and the sign was removed within minutes at the request of the host club. This incident raised questions about the motives behind the sign and highlighted tensions among fan groups during international club matches.
