Zenit Supporters Reject Black Players and Homosexual

Zenit St Petersburg


Biggest supporters group Zenit St Petersburg asked the club not to recruit black players or homosexual.

Zenit is the only major club in Russia that was never confirmed players of African descent. This has to be maintained by 'Landscrona'.

"We are not racist, but we see this as an important tradition in Zenit," the statement 'Landscrona' via letter, which was also posted on their official website.

"That way, the identity of the club and the symbol of St Petersburg will remain intact. We just want players from fellow Slavs, such as Ukraine and Belarus, or from the Baltic and Scandinavia," they added.

According to 'Landscrona', the main reason is the equation of a way of thinking as well as historical and cultural background. In the letter, 'Landscrona' also asked the Zenit to reject "sexual minorities."
