Tottenham Hotspur moved its Progress Pride flag from its usual spot in the stadium ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League match against Slavia Prague, citing safety concerns from the visiting team.
The flag is an updated version of the classic rainbow flag and is usually displayed in the northeast corner of the stadium.
«The flag was moved at the request of the visiting team to UEFA for safety reasons,» the club said Reuters.
The decision has led to disappointment among Tottenham’s LGBTQ+ fans.
«We are naturally frustrated. You should not come to our stadium and dictate what is acceptable, let alone complain about a flag that represents our community,» the Proud Lilywhites Committee, which represents LGBTQ+ supporters, said in a statement.

In September 2022, following Tottenham’s 2-0 win in a Champions League match against Olympique de Marseille, five fans were arrested for violence after rioting and pulling down the Pride Flag.
Tottenham will look to increase their chances of finishing in the top eight of the Champions League. They are currently 16th in the standings, following the 5-3 defeat to Paris St Germain last month.
However, it will get a boost from Saturday’s win over Brentford, only the second home win in the Premier League this season.
The London team will have to make do without left back Destiny Udogie, who is out with a hamstring injury.
The opponent, Slavia Prague, is languishing at the foot of the Champions League with three points from five games.
