Outrage as sick football fans celebrate the Holocaust by unfurling massive Adolf Hitler banner at Sudanese match
The sign featuring Hitler's face was seen on the sidelines of a league game in Sudan alongside flares, flags and the word 'holocaust'
FOOTBALL fans appear to have celebrated the HOLOCAUST by unfurling a shocking banner featuring Adolf Hitler's face.
The sign was seen on the sidelines of a league game in Sudan alongside flares, flags and the word "holocaust".
The incident was described by football anti-racism campaigners as a "gruesome first" for Sub-Saharan Africa.
It is alleged the banner was displayed by fans of Sudan's Al-Hilal Omdurman, which is one of the country's biggest clubs and based in the capital Khartoum.
German website reported that police secured the block of seating where the banner was unfurled but did not make any arrests.
Campaign group Fare Network, which attempts to curb discrimination within the game, has now said it is investigating the incident.
