Story summary

Police in Split, Croatia, arrested at least 12 Hajduk Split soccer fans on Friday following pro-Nazi and anti-Semitic chants before a UEFA Conference League match against Ajax from Amsterdam on Thursday night. Thousands of Hajduk Split supporters chanted slogans like "Crush the Jews," "Rise up Adolf (Hitler)," and "Let's go Ustasha" as they marched through the city, carrying a mock coffin with Ajax’s name emblazoned on it, targeting the team known for its ties to Amsterdam’s Jewish community. During the match, fans set off flares, leading to more than a 10-minute stoppage and clashes with police before the game. The incident prompted widespread condemnation from Croatian leaders, including President Zoran Milanovic, who urged for measures against such behavior, which is seen as damaging to Croatia’s soccer image and values of mutual respect and tolerance.
