In the run-up to the match between Sion and Basel on August 31, there were unpleasant scenes between the two fan camps. Videos on social media show how a crowd of Basel supporters attack Sion fans in the center of Sion.
Now the licensing authorities from Sion are drawing on the consequences of the incident. At the first FCB away game in Sion, the guest section will be closed. FC Basel does not receive a ticket quota for other sectors either. In addition, Basel supporters will be under stricter observation until the winter break, said the Congress of Cantonal Directors of Justice and Police (KKJPD).
FC Basel will have to do without the support of the Muttenzerkurve next time in Sion.

FC Basel commented on the ban in the sector in a statement on Wednesday. The association repeatedly emphasizes that it consistently rejects violence of all kinds and condemns it in the strongest possible terms.
“However, it is incomprehensible, according to the current decision, that innocent FCB fans should now be punished for an incident that occurred well over an hour before the arrival of the special train and therefore it is clear that FCB supporters were involved in traveling together,” FCB said.
The incident in Sion
News scoutThe people from Basel continue to write: “Concrete information about the matter was not shared with the FCB. This gives the decision the appearance of arbitrariness and official action, which makes it impossible for FC Basel to support such a counterproductive measure.” (nvi)
