Partizan Mozzart Bet surprisingly lost to Igokea in Stark Arena during ABA League Round 7. The visitors won in the last moments, and one fan lost his composure after the final whistle.
As the club announced, he “behaved very inappropriately” towards one of Partizan’s players, with reports from Serbia indicating it was Uros Trifunovic.
As a result of this behavior, the Belgrade team permanently banned him from entering the gym for all games Partizan hosts.
“On Sunday, November 12, after the final buzzer signaling the end of the game between Partizan Mozzart Bet and Igokea, an unpleasant situation occurred on the court itself, precisely along the sideline.
Following our team’s defeat to Igokea in a game that also had a charitable aspect, a spectator from the section near the court stained not only the Sunday match but also the reputation of KK Partizan with their behavior.
The person responsible for the incident, who acted very inappropriately towards a player of KK Partizan, was identified on the same evening, and disciplinary proceedings were initiated against him by the Club.
In accordance with the Club’s rules and with the aim of protecting the integrity of the players, our home court, and the reputation of KK Partizan, a decision was made to permanently ban the person responsible for the incident from entering the arena for all matches in which KK Partizan plays as the host.
With this action, the Club wants to send a clear message that there is no tolerance for incidents of this or similar nature, neither now nor in the future,” as reported by Partizan.
The ABA champions currently hold a 3-4 score in EuroLeague and will face Bayern in Munich during the upcoming Round 8 (15/11). In the regional competition, Partizan has already suffered two losses, to Mega and Igokea, trailing behind Buducnost and Crvena Zvezda with 6-1 scores.
