Overview
- The Progress Pride flag, typically shown in the north‑east corner, was relocated to the south‑west section before Tuesday’s Champions League match.
- Tottenham said the change was made at the visiting team’s request to UEFA on security grounds.
- Reports indicate Spurs initially resisted the request before agreeing to the move as a precaution.
- The Proud Lilywhites supporters’ group voiced frustration over the decision, and some flag owners plan to boycott the game.
- Context for the safety concerns includes recent UEFA sanctions against Slavia Prague for fan behavior and a 2022 incident in Marseille involving arrests after a Pride flag was torn down.
