Alemannia Aachen in the crossfire: Trainer and Hooligans in focus!
Alemannia Aachen in the crossfire: Trainer and Hooligans in focus!
Alemannia Aachen sees itself increasingly to take a position after persistent allegations against her fan scene and the hooligan Kevin P. The association reacted to an article in the "ZEIT" that addresses the problem of right -wing extremist tendencies within its followers. In an official statement, Alemannia emphasizes that coach Heiner Backhaus and the Moberz supervisory board did not look at the stressful video of the accused Kevin P. The association makes it clear that both of them did not participate in the approval of the violence.
Especially emphasizes Alemannia that the two officials do not want to publicly comment on the allegations in order not to endanger the ongoing lawsuit against Kevin P. The association is decidedly behind its head coach and the chairman of the supervisory board and rejects the criticism of the supposedly lax handling with problem fans. Kevin P. is not only charged because of manslaughter; He also runs a non -profit association that deals food to the needy.
return to professional football
In the middle of the controversy, Alemannia Aachen also celebrates a sporting success: after eleven years, the club returns to professional football after winning the Regionalliga West with impressive 14 points ahead of Wuppertaler SV. Under coach Heiner Backhaus, which was fetched by Berlin FC Dynamo in autumn 2023, the team celebrated a successful second half of the season with 15 wins from 16 games.
However, Alemannia Aachen's fan scene is critically eyed. Parts of this scene are considered right -wing extremist. The anti -fascist magazine "Lotta" reported ten years ago about the connection between neo -Nazis and hooligans. These groups are well received in the fan scene and use football as a recruitment field. The accusation that the club has a lax handling of these problem fans is always loud, since stadium bans against right -wing extremist groups such as the Karls gang, which chase anti -fascist fans from the stadium, have never been imposed.
social challenges
These problems are in the context of a broader social debate about right -wing extremism in football. In Germany there is a long history of hooliganism and neo -Nazism in fan culture, which dates back to the 1970s. Many remember incidents during international matches where racist slogans were chanted. These social conflicts, including with regard to migration and sexual and gender diversity, also influence the mood in the stadiums.
The DFB has taken measures to combat racism and promote diversity in recent decades, but racist attitudes are still spread in parts of amateur football. The upcoming sporting highlight, the European European Championship in Germany, could again become a goal for extremely right -wing activities, which further reinforces the problem.
In summary, it should be noted that Alemannia Aachen not only celebrates sporting success, but also has to deal with a tense social climate in her fan base. The club policy, which distances itself from right -wing extremist activities and political statements, is put to the test.| Details | |
