Barça shuts the Gol 1957 ultras stand for the Alavés game
After the attack on Camavinga at the Clásico, the Gol 1957 stays closed this Saturday; the club wants it back for Aston Villa.
FC Barcelona have decided to close the Gol 1957, known as the ultras stand, for this Saturday's league match against Alavés. The club hopes to reopen it for the game against Aston Villa, provided talks with the groups that make up the stand help put the situation right.
The move comes after the Mossos d'Esquadra identified and reported administratively the alleged attacker of Eduardo Camavinga during the Clásico, using security cameras at Spotify Camp Nou. According to Mundo Deportivo, the club already has several files open against members over behaviour contrary to the values of sport, which exposes it to financial penalties and the risk of a stadium closure.
Barça will meet the representatives of the stand to agree on commitments that keep the atmosphere passionate and respectful, without putting the club's assets and reputation at risk.
