OFK Vihren Sandanski agrees to special seating request from FK Fratria
OFK Vihren Sandanski has agreed to accommodate a request from FK Fratria regarding fan seating for their upcoming match on August 24 at Spartak Stadium.
FK Fratria, through owner Viktor Bakurevich, issued an official appeal requesting that approximately 56–60 supporters be seated outside the standard away fan cage. The club argued that the designated cage is humiliating and unsuitable for fans traveling with families, including women and children. FK Fratria pledged that their supporters would maintain respectful conduct throughout the event.
In response, OFK Vihren Sandanski confirmed they will provide the requested space. While the club defended the stadium's guest sector as having hosted many teams without issue, they accepted the request in the interest of a positive atmosphere. OFK Vihren also noted that such requests should ideally be communicated through official administrative channels rather than social media.
