Saturday afternoon in Berlin saw fans of Hertha BSC and FC Bayern Munich gather at the city’s Olympic Stadium for the Bundesliga’s penultimate competition weekend.
In an organised effort to protest the Qatar World Cup, which will begin on November 20, fans from both teams came bearing banners which called out conditions in Qatar and FIFA’s decision to host the quadrennial competition in the politically oppressive country.
Fans of the football team from Munich displayed a large sign which read “15.000 dead for 5.760 minutes of football. Shame on you!” (“15.000 Töte für 5.760 Minuten Fussball. Schӓmt euch!”)
At another game in Dortmund in North Rhine-Westphalia, Borussia fans waved signs with similarly condemning slogans. One read: “A human catastrophe” (“Eine menschliche Katarstrophe”), playing on the host country’s name and the German word “Katastrophe” (catastrophe). Another said, “A thousand dead for a World Cup”. Among the banners some fans also waved rainbow Pride flags and held banners highlighting the Qatari government’s poor record of press freedom.
