As Ella Ajaje, a Palestinian Australian, attempted to enter the stadium just after 4.30pm on Sunday. The 15-year-old girl was wearing the jersey, which says “Palestine” on the front. A guard refused her entry, referring to her shirt and “the fact it’s got Palestine”.

“We don’t allow countries in here other than Australia,” the guard could be heard telling another man who intervened. Ella said she saw other fans wearing jerseys displaying other country’s flags who were walking into the stadium.

Her brother, who was standing next to her, was wearing a Portugal jersey and was not stopped as he walked in, she said.

      In this case, racist security guards. If you want a general answer then, well, plenty I suppose.

          “It’s not Israel, it’s not Zionism. It’s just some undefined racists. Stop criticising Israel!”
