Cantù, solidarity towards Paok fans

“Rest in peace, Paok fans” a banner was displayed by Pallacanestro Cantù fans during the first half of the game against Reyer Venezia, valid for the 18th day of the Serie A basketball championship.

Brianzoli fans displayed the banner, written in Greek, to express their support for the Paok Thessaloniki supporters who lost their lives last Thursday in a terrible car accident on their way to France to watch the Europa League match against Lyon.

In recent days many ultras groups across Europe have hung similar condolence banners and made choruses in solidarity with the fans of the Greek team.

The tragic accident occurred in Romania, in the Timis district: the Greeks’ vehicle invaded the oncoming lane and the tremendous impact with the tractor-trailer was unavoidable. For the seven Paok fans there was nothing to be done.
