Mamelodi Sundowns have condemmed the behaviour of their supporters following ugly scenes at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on Friday last week.
Unhappy supporters showed their anger on Sundowns technical team and even poured water on the club’s sporting director Berg Flemming after the Brazilians’ 2-2 draw with Sudanese side Al Hilal in a CAF Champions League match.
“Mamelodi Sundowns condemns the behaviour and conduct of the few ill-disciplined supporters who were disrupting members of the Sundowns technical ream as they were leaving the stadium after the Sundowns and Al Hilal match,” Sundowns said in a statement on Tuesday morning.
“Sundowns has always encouraged active supporter participation and engagement, which must always be done with respect and courtesy. Mamelodi Sundowns will not tolerate any threats, illegal behaviour or intimidation by any of its supporters or fans at any of its matches.”
The statement added: “Appropriate legal or disciplinary proceedings will be initiated against those whose conduct is found to be illegal or contrary to the policies or rules of the Sundowns supporters. The players and technical team of Mamelodi Sundowns are focusing on retaining the league title and successfully competing in all cup competitions. This can only be achieved with the support and encouragement of the Mamelodi Sundowns supporters.”
Currently, the Tshwane giants occupy top position on the Betway Premiership standings and trying their best to successfully defend their title.
