Japan’s Gamba apologises over SS-like flag

TOKYO: Japanese J-League side Gamba Osaka has apologised after a flag reportedly bearing markings similar to those of the Nazi SS was displayed during a recent match.

Gamba supporters were seen waving a flag with the markings “very similar to the symbol” of the Nazi paramilitary organisation in the form of a double S during a game on Sunday, team spokesman Kenji Okunaga told AFP on Friday.
