Sevilla fans arrived in Ceuta to "expel migrants from Spain"
Members of Stukas Sur, a hooligan firm historically associated with Sevilla, attempted to clear tent camps and threw migrants' belongings into the sea.
The tension surrounding the migration crisis in Ceuta has spilled over into the world of football. Hooligans who arrived from Spain joined groups of local residents acting against African migrants staying in makeshift tent camps on the shores of the Spanish city in North Africa, according to reports published over the last day on platforms that track the hooligan scene in Europe.
Among the groups mentioned is Stukas Sur, a hooligan firm historically associated with Sevilla. The group was established in the mid-90s following a split in Biris Norte, the famous ultras organization of Sevilla. Members of the faction, who were identified with the far-right, left the north stand at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium after a series of internal clashes and moved to the south stand, where they operated under the name Stukas Sur.
According to several websites and social media accounts that specialize in documenting ultras and hooligan organizations around the world, football fans from other teams also participated in the recent events. In footage distributed online, men are seen advancing toward areas where migrants were staying and clearing them from the tent camps on the beach.
The events took place against the backdrop of an acute migration crisis and great tension in Ceuta. According to reports in Spain, hundreds of residents took to the streets and at one point tried to reach migrants who were staying on the Trampolin and Benitez beaches. At Benitez beach, belongings that belonged to the migrants were thrown into the sea, and security forces had to intervene to separate the sides.

The tension in the city has been ongoing for several weeks. At the beginning of August, a demonstration by anti-immigration organizations was even held in Ceuta, which was met with a counter-protest by local residents who called out to the activists: "Fascists, get out of our city." Now, according to reports, hooligans identified with Spanish football teams have also arrived in the city and joined the events.
