Europa League: Toulouse will contact UEFA for excessive searches of their supporters in Lisbon

This prestigious match in the Europa League play-offs between Benfica and Toulouse was to be an unforgettable moment for the 3,200 purple supporters who made the trip. In the end, it will be, but not for the right reasons. This is the biggest trip in the history of the French club, and unfortunately, the meeting went wrong, even before kick-off.

During the mandatory searches before entering the stadium, many visitors complained of excessive pat-downs, comparing them to “sexual touching”, as reported by the supporter site LesViolets.com. Friday, Téf’ reacted by supporting its faithful via an official press release.

“Multiple testimonies from our supporters have described inappropriate and excessive treatment, including excessive searches and acts of intimidation, on the part of the Portuguese authorities. The Toulouse Football Club takes this information very seriously and intends to make the voices of its supporters heard.” is it written in this press release.

This is not a first in Lisbon. In 2022, Parisians had already denounced this inappropriate behavior during a Champions League match between Benfica and PSG.
