Match “Zenith” – “Pari NN” on March 4 will be held without the participation of the most active fans. Fans of the “turn” did not apply for a Fan ID. The fans reported this to Fontanka.
The Fan ID Law came into force on June 1, 2022. At some stadiums, including the Gazprom Arena, it was decided to postpone the introduction of the FAN ID system until 2023. Zenit fans supported the general boycott of Fan ID, but until the end of last year they continued to go to matches in St. Petersburg and support the team. In parallel, they clearly demonstrated their attitude to innovation.
After Torpedo – Zenit on November 12 at the Luzhniki Stadium (Moscow), the official channel of the Landskrona fan association wrote: “That’s it. RPL, come on, goodbye! Nobody from Virazh was going to buy a subscription to the fan stand.
“Zenith” has already prepared for the departure of the fans. The designation of the Virage sectors has disappeared from the official website of the club, and for 90 rubles on the club card it is offered to buy tickets for one of the already former fan sectors. Fans reacted immediately to the marketing ploy.
The average attendance at home matches of Zenit in the first part of the 2022/23 season was 34,029. It is clear that there can be no talk of any full houses yet.
