Ferencvaros fans upset by biometric 'intrusion'

NO PRIVACY: A general view of the Groupama Arena new football stadium in Budapest. Palm vein scanners have been introduced to secure access to the brand new US$61mil (RM199.36mil) Fradi stadium, which has incensed the club's fans.

BUDAPEST: The thousands of fans gathered below the sculpture of a huge eagle, the symbol of 28-times Hungarian champions Ferencvaros, shouted "down with the scanner". 

Draped in the club's trademark green-and-white shirts and scarves, the fans had met on a sunny autumn afternoon outside the club's stadium to demonstrate against the introduction of a bimoetric identification system used for entry to home matches.
