Guardian - A long arranged soccer match between the Iranian national team and Millwall in south-east London is almost certain to be cancelled today because the organisers fear the game will be targeted by far right extremists. Three days after the Guardian revealed fears of far right extremists and football hooligans acting jointly to attack Muslims and "avenge" the London bus and tube bombs, administrators at Millwall are preparing to cancel the fixture amid fears that Iranian fans may be attacked going to and from the ground.
The club was expecting up to 10,000 Iranian
fans to watch the game. Iran is on a sporting high, having qualified for
next year's World Cup. |
