Tottenham Moves Progress Pride Flag After Slavia Prague Raises Safety Concerns

The club cites a security request to UEFA from Slavia Prague, a stance that has angered LGBTQ+ supporters.

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.
