Sydney United 58 fan gets life ban for Nazi salute at Australia Cup final

The ban covers all FA-sanctioned football matches, including NPL, A-Leagues, Australia Cup and national team matches.

“What should have been a celebration of a tightly contested and excellent game of football has been marred by the actions of groups of a few people, which do not represent the values and expectations of our football community,” the FA chief executive, James Johnson, said in an open letter to fans.

“We cautiously welcome the action taken by Football Australia in handing a lifetime attendance ban to a fan who performed a fascist salute,” Bark said in a statement.
