During the match against FC UNA Strassen, 10,000 seats at Partizan Stadium were already closed, including the entire East Stand, as a result of a previous UEFA decision that had already seen the club fined a total of €90,250. Despite FK Partizan clearly appealing to supporters before the match not to repeat the offences that had previously led to sanctions, the club was punished again due to incidents during that game — this time with a total fine of €34,000.

Of that amount, €14,000 will be paid due to blocked passages and stairways, while an additional €20,000 was imposed because of chanting that UEFA classified as discriminatory. Alongside the financial penalty, Partizan was also given a suspended closure of 5,000 seats in the West Stand for one European match.

Revenue from individual ticket sales for the match against FC UNA Strassen amounted to 5,925,500 dinars, excluding season ticket income. This means the UEFA fine caused by incidents in the stands will consume almost two-thirds of the revenue generated from ticket sales for that match.

While everyone understands how important support is for Partizan — for the players, coaching staff, and the entire club — Partizan is also fighting a difficult battle to ensure that European matches are not played in front of closed stands or an empty stadium.

Everyone knows what support for Partizan should look like: a full stadium, energy that pushes the team forward, and fans who give players extra strength when it matters most. Players should feel that they are not alone. A packed stadium should be Partizan's advantage, not a reason why the club pays more fines or plays future matches with closed sections or without supporters.

However, because of irresponsible actions by individuals, Partizan continues to pay a heavy price. Every blocked passage, every prohibited chant, every object thrown onto the pitch, every use of lasers or pyrotechnics comes with consequences. The person who causes the offence does not pay the price — Partizan does.

The club pays with money that could have been invested in the first team, the youth academy, infrastructure, and the future of Partizan. The players pay when they lose support from the stands, and thousands of fans pay when they come to the stadium simply to stand behind their club.

We have to ask ourselves: why?

If we love Partizan, how can any action that brings new fines, closed stands, and matches without supporters be considered support for the club? Isn't the purpose of supporting the team to be its greatest strength? To carry the players when things are difficult, not make their job harder?

So, when you come to the match tonight, think about it. Do not stand on stairways or block passages. Support the team loudly, but avoid chants and actions that could lead to further sanctions against Partizan.

Support Partizan. Cheer for Partizan. Do not harm Partizan.
