Mainz 05 urged to 'take a stand' and cancel Newcastle friendly amid Saudi ownership NUFC
Newcastle’s pre-season schedule has been plunged into doubt following a hostile reaction from supporters of Mainz 05.
Supporters of Mainz are the latest club to speak out against the ownership model leading to a request for their club to cancel the pre-season contest. “With the decision to play a friendly match against Newcastle United, Mainz is sending a signal and not a good one… Mainz is actively offering the Saudi regime a stage and thus indirectly recognising it politically.
“Are the people who are asking for cancellations also doing without Disney films with their children? How far do the consequences go?”Mainz have urged their club to cancel the friendly due to concerns over Saudi Arabia’s human rights record
