Strasbourg and Chelsea fans to march in London against BlueCo on 18 April | OneFootball

Strasbourg and Chelsea supporters will stage a joint protest in London on 18 April, targeting BlueCo’s multi-club ownership of both teams.

According to L'Équipe, the demonstration will precede Chelsea’s Premier League match against Manchester United, part of matchweek 33, and is planned as a walk through the capital to the stadium. Strasbourg fans from four associations, including UB90, are set to join local groups, and the organisers issued a joint statement setting out a united BlueCo out message and criticising BlueCo’s stewardship of Chelsea.

The statement aimed to highlight perceived incompetence and mismanagement at Chelsea, and to condemn restrictions tied to multi-club ownership. It contended that Strasbourg’s identity is being undermined and that long-standing supporter groups have been censured and repressed by a hardline leadership.

Up to now, protests have included 15-minute boycotts at the start of matches since August 2024, and banners, notably BlueCo Out, which the club’s management has since banned.

Strasbourg fans also held a march in January before the home derby against Metz, a day after a similar action by their British counterparts.
