Î÷¹ÏÓ°ÊÓ has concluded an investigation into the conduct of a second identified spectator in attendance at the Australia Cup 2022 Final held at CommBank Stadium in Sydney on 1 October 2022.
The spectator in question has today been issued with a lifetime ban from attending Î÷¹ÏÓ°ÊÓ-sanctioned football matches including all NPL, A-Leagues, Australia Cup, and National Team matches.
The ban is effective immediately.
As with the first ban issued by Î÷¹ÏÓ°ÊÓ on Wednesday, the conduct in question relates to a fascist salute or similar gesture conducted during the match and captured on the host broadcast. Such conduct is a breach of the Australia Cup Terms of Admission and Î÷¹ÏÓ°ÊÓ’s Spectator Code of Behaviour.
Î÷¹ÏÓ°ÊÓ is also expecting to today receive submissions from Sydney United 58 FC in respect to a show-cause notice issued in respect to certain crowd behaviour during the Australia Cup 2022 Final.
Î÷¹ÏÓ°ÊÓ is continuing to collaborate with relevant stakeholders and law enforcement in reviewing the anti-social behaviour at the Australia Cup 2022 Final.
Î÷¹ÏÓ°ÊÓ is committed to promoting a safe and enjoyable environment for all Australians engaging with football, where the rights, dignity, and worth of every person are properly respected.
