U de Chile ultras spark serious trouble in protest over ticket prices | OneFootball

The Universidad de Chile fan group was involved in serious incidents during the 0-0 draw against Audax Italiano, for the first match of the Chilean League, in protest of ticket prices. In the middle of the match, a group of fans started a fire in one of the stands at the National Stadium, which forced the game to be interrupted for ten minutes.

In addition to the fire, the fans clashed with the police, attempted to enter the field, and caused damage in the south stand. As a result of the disturbances, four people were arrested.

After the events, Universidad de Chile issued a statement condemning what happened and announced that it will take legal action against those responsible, as well as apply the right of admission through the biometric system. Similarly, the ANFP condemned the episodes of violence and reiterated the demand for the implementation of the National Fan Registry as a priority measure for Chilean football.
