In an unusual move, a Real Madrid fan club in Kwalam, Jigawa State, has announced the suspension of a member, Abbati Soja, on grounds of misconduct and lack of loyalty to the club. According to the club, Soja made discouraging remarks, suggesting that Real Madrid would not achieve much this season, a sentiment that reportedly affected the morale of other members.
The suspension, effective from October 28, 2024, followed a leadership meeting of the fan club and will extend through May 28, 2025, coinciding with the end of the football season.
The decision has sparked debate among fans, raising important questions about loyalty in sports fandom. Some are wondering if such strict actions might be counterproductive at a time when fan clubs worldwide are striving to grow their base and promote inclusivity.
