Chelsea fan who aimed Nazi salute at Tottenham supporters punished with three-year football ban

The supporter was spotted aiming the salute at Spurs fans during the London derby at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in November 2023. He has now been convicted of a racially aggravated public order offence at Thames Magistrates Court and banned from attending matches for three years, Metropolitan Police confirmed.

A football banning order (FBO) is a civil order. The order means that the fan will not be able to attend football matches for a set period. The orders can vary in length from two to 10 years, depending on the severity of the offence.

The Chelsea supporter's conviction comes on the same day that an Everton fan was fined and given a stadium ban for racial abuse aimed at Mohamed Salah and for mocking fans over the Heysel Stadium disaster.

Tottenham and Chelsea will both be involved in Premier League matches this weekend. Spurs will host Wolves on Saturday with the aim of stretching their unbeaten run in the league to six games, while the Blues will visit reigning champions Manchester City.
