UEFA Investigates Polish Fans' Nazi Salute Toward Hapoel Tel Aviv Supporters
Hapoel Tel Aviv advanced to the Conference League playoff round after a 3-2 aggregate victory over Polish club Katowice. However, attention quickly turned to disturbing behavior by Katowice fans at the match's conclusion, where some supporters were recorded giving Nazi salutes toward Hapoel Tel Aviv fans. Videos and photos circulated on social media showing the offensive gestures, prompting UEFA to open an investigation into the incident. If UEFA classifies the actions as racist or discriminatory, Katowice could face disciplinary sanctions including stadium closures and fines. UEFA is expected to announce its findings in the coming days.
Meanwhile, Hapoel Tel Aviv owner Moiz Safra celebrated the club's rapid rise from the second division to European competition within two years. Posting on X, he thanked the club's supporters, staff, and players for their efforts and recalled the skepticism they faced during his takeover. Safra expressed pride in the team's progress and rallied fans with the phrase "Let's go Hapoel."
