Zenit sued its fan and won 20 thousand roubles

Zenit Football Club sued the fan, who had ran out into the field during a home game against Terek, and won 20 thousand roubles in court. The incident happened on September 14, during a match of the 8th tour of Premier League. Mikhail Prokopets, Head of Sports Law Group of the Law Firm "YUST", told the journalists of TV Rain in what way the court ruling will be useful for other football clubs, and also whether they risk any liability if, for example, an animal runs out into the field.
