Bad fans stop a big football game – level 1
15-05-2026 07:00
A big football match in Prague between Slavia and Sparta stops early. Many fans run onto the pitch before the game ends.
Slavia is winning 3-2, but the fans do not wait for the end. Some people are mean. They hurt the players from Sparta. They also break seats and lights in the stadium. Now, the police are looking at videos to find the bad fans.
The football bosses may punish Slavia. They may say that Sparta wins the game 3-0. Slavia may also have to pay a lot of money. The boss of Slavia is very sad. He tells the fans that they stop a big party. He wants everyone to be safe and follow the rules.
Difficult words: pitch (grass where a football match happens), mean (not kind or nice), punish (when you do something bad and someone makes you do something or pay some money).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
What penalties could Slavia face after fans hurt Sparta players and damaged the stadium?
