The Minister of Culture and Sports of the Canton of Sarajevo, Kenan Magoda, spoke after that the Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina refused to issue tickets for the match with Romania’s BH Fanaticos. Ljuti Krajišnica also received rejections, as well as fan groups Section 1703 and Dragon Army.
The Federation’s decision caused stormy reactions among fans.
We transmit the reaction of Minister Magoda in its entirety.
“My personal attitude, without silence and without calculations.
In Sarajevo Canton, I openly fought against the brokers in the Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina, whose octopi reached our Sarajevo, from the beginning I knew where it was going.
What we are seeing today, that NSBIH refuses to sell tickets to BHFanaticos and Ljuta Krajišnica, is nothing more than an attempt to silence the authentic voice of fans and to turn sport into a tool of power.
It has nothing to do with sports. It is a project of control, interest and influence, in which, unfortunately, according to my knowledge, intelligence structures from Serbia participate.
And that’s why this is not just a football match, this is a fight for honor, identity and freedom of Bosnia and Herzegovina. sports.
I was a pioneer of that fight, maybe it cost me a lot, but they couldn’t buy me. With money, position, connections, they tried, but I never sold myself.
Today I stand side by side with BH Fanaticos, Angry Krajišniks and all sincere fans and fan groups who want BH. football belongs to the people again.
I support all fan groups that cheer on our Bosnia and Herzegovina, because only together, as one, can we stand side by side with our national team and our country.
Football belongs to the stands, not to cabinets and interest networks.
For Bosnia and Herzegovina football without brokers. For the fans. For the truth.”
