Serie A: Lazio fans call for women to be banned from 'sacred place'
19 August 2018
Hardcore fans of Lazio football club in Italy have circulated a letter saying women should be banned from part of the Curva Nord of Rome's Olympic Stadium.
The Lazio ultras have gained a reputation for violence, racism and anti-Semitism.
Before the first game of the season, an unofficial flyer was handed round saying the stand was a "sacred place" to which women were not allowed.
It said women should go to other parts of the stadium.
The pamphlet called for "women, wives and girlfriends" to not sit in the first 10 rows of the stand.
