SOUNDBITE (French) Ludwig Sneyers, Belgian Pro League CEO:

"It will not surprise you that the Pro League and the clubs were not happy with the banner and the tifo that we saw yesterday at the Standard. We are here with the Federation to promote football as a whole".

We are already in touch with the club (Standard de Liege) to understand how did this happened, and we already got some information. With our clubs we took the decision to prevent such things from happening in the future, we will take measures to make it impossible to bring such banners and tifos into stadiums, and we are looking at ways to make this happen.

We will also get in touch with the supporters and the new supporter federation because they are also responsible, in order for this to never happen again. On the repression side we are in touch with the Football department (of the Justice Ministry), they will most likely launch an investigation and we will wait for the result."
