Anderlecht is not allowed to bring away supporters to the competition match against Union next season. This has been decided by the Disciplinary Committee of the Pro League. The committee imposed this punishment after the actions of the Anderlecht fans during the cup final last season. The Brussels derby at the King Baudouin Stadium was grim last season. Fans of both clubs set off pyrotechnics in the stands. Because the actions of the Union supporters did not affect the match, Union received a punishment of 'only' 3,500 euros. The pyrotechnics of Anderlecht did have an impact on the cup final and therefore the prosecution had already asked for stricter action. The Disciplinary Committee is now doing so. In total, more than thirty incidents were counted, with fireworks and the destruction of around 250 seats and an entrance gate. The punishment is therefore not mild. There are no Anderlecht supporters welcome next season in the Joseph Marien Stadium, both in the competition and in the cup. Paars-wit also receives an effective fine of 8,000 euros. The Disciplinary Committee of the Pro League imposed this punishment after a thorough investigation. Anderlecht must now comply with this punishment and ensure that the supporters behave. The club will have to work on better security and better communication with the supporters. It's a difficult task, but Anderlecht must ensure that the supporters are safe and that the matches take place without incidents. In the coming weeks, Anderlecht will have to work on a plan to show the supporters that the club is serious about safety. It's an important task for the club and the supporters must be aware that they play an important role in the safety of the matches. The supporters of Anderlecht must understand that their behavior has consequences and that they must respect the rules and the other supporters. The club will have to take measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. The punishment is a clear signal that the Pro League is taking the safety of the supporters seriously.
