Serbia Threatens Euro 2024 Walkout Over Fan Chants

Serbia soccer officials threatened a walkout from the European Championship after offensive chants were reportedly heard during the Albania-Croatia match. UEFA has launched an investigation into the allegations. Serbia's participation in the tournament may be in jeopardy pending the outcome of the probe.

Serbia soccer officials have issued a stark warning, suggesting their team may withdraw from the European Championship in response to offensive chants reportedly heard during the Albania-Croatia match.

The contentious game, which concluded 2-2 in Hamburg, saw Albanian and Croatian fans allegedly uniting in a chant directed at Serbia. UEFA has since appointed an in-house investigator to probe the allegations of racist and discriminatory behavior.

Serbia Football Association general secretary Jovan Surbatovic expressed outrage, demanding sanctions from UEFA and warning of potential withdrawal if action isn't taken. The animosity stems from historical conflicts in the Balkans, and UEFA now faces the challenge of addressing these deep-seated tensions.
