Sinsheim – The German FA has condemned the behaviour of a home supporter who is being investigated for giving the Nazi salute during Saturday’s friendly win over Israel.
A 28-year-old man has been questioned by police after repeatedly giving the Nazi salute, which is banned in Germany, during the international in Sinsheim.
In a statement, the German Football Association (DFB) said it “strongly condemned the right-wing extremist incident”.
The DFB has a hotline number and an online ‘whistleblower’ system to help fans report incidents during all Germany matches.
“Discrimination in the form of insults or discrimination must have no place in football,” the statement added.
