Hostile images found in Alvalade dressing room corridors, Jan 2012 | OneFootball

January 2012.

Sporting put up photographs in the corridor leading to the visiting team's locker room at the Alvalade Stadium, showing fans in aggressive attitudes, some displaying symbols and gestures associated with the far-right.

Those images depicted members of the supporter groups in aggressive postures, challenging the security staff; others with their faces covered and holding flares; one in a position that evokes a fascist salute; and another showing a tattoo of the iron cross, an emblem that, although not exclusive to Nazism, is strongly linked to far-right movements. The corridor in question was used by visiting players to get changed and on their way to and from the pitch.

At the time, no one expressed any outrage. Now, because FC Porto displayed images of past victories, there is a widespread scandal.
