“Young Boys” fan group was ready before the Tuesday start of the Champions League.

The ultras of the Swiss team accused their team's opponents of excessive commercialization, sports washing, and even supporting war in Ukraine, mentioning the company “Gazprom”.

The “Young Boys” fans wrote: “It could have been so much fun…, but instead of planning trips, YB fans were concerned with other issues from the end of the draw.

The billion-dollar football business has become even bigger, even more commercial, and even more amoral monster. Some countries simply engage in sports washing, taking over small and large clubs. World champions are used to host events, undermining democracy and human rights, while sugar daddies buy clubs just for fun, without greater understanding.

They all want to profit from football and turn it into an even more commercial event.

Our group G best reflects this. First of all, there is “Leipzig”, who shamelessly and openly exist to be a promotional billboard, but even our other opponents, established clubs in the market, should not escape criticism.

If you look closer, “Manchester City” participates in sports washing so that the United Arab Emirates and their human rights violations do not attract attention.

Even Belgrade's “Crvena Zvezda” and their main sponsor “Gazprom”, supporters of Russian military aggression in Ukraine, show that football is a dirtier business than ever before. Commercialism, corruption, money laundering, and modern slavery are not only everyday things for clubs, but also for UEFA and FIFA, which have become an important part of this sport in recent years.

Together we want to offer an alternative to the excessively commercial football business dominated by advertisements, sponsorships, and unclear investors. Together we support sport for everyone, where all you need is a ball, field, and goals”, - Ultras concluded their statement.
