Polish club denies fans attacked Israeli players

A Polish soccer club, Legia Warszawa, said Friday it condemns anti-Semitism and vehemently denied any of its fans were behind an attack on an Israeli soccer team. Masked hooligans attacked and slightly injured two Israelis following a friendly match in Poland Wednesday. The Israeli Embassy in Warsaw described it as an “anti-Semitic incident.” The Israeli club said fans of Warsaw’s Legia Warszawa club emerged from a forest and attacked staff members. Legia Warszawa said there were “no grounds to link our club to the incident that took place in Sochocin,” which is 70 kilometres away from Warsaw.
