Fans of pre-season friendly opponents call for their club to cancel Newcastle United match nufc
With less than five weeks to go until the new season kicks off,have their first friendly on Saturday , a behind closed doors game against Gateshead at Newcastle’s training ground.
However, fans of Mainz 05 are looking to have their game against Newcastle United cancelled, an open letter from the Bundesliga club’s supporters calling on the club’s management to pull out of the friendly…In an extensive and intensive process, Mainz 05 have given themselves a mission statement in which, among other things, democratic values and an offensive attitude against exclusion and discrimination are central elements. The Supporters Mainz fully support these values.
Newcastle United was acquired by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund PIF, which is chaired by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, in late 2021. The motive for this was probably less the enthusiasm for football or the identification with the club Newcastle United than the so-called “sport washing” – the attempt to polish the image of Saudi Arabia by entering international football.
So Newcastle United is not just a football club, but a vehicle for asserting the interests of a regime that tramples on human rights and whose policies are diametrically opposed to the values and mission statement of Mainz 05.
