<br>Inter Lagos’ Federation Cup triumph should have been a moment of celebration, but the unruly behavior of fans overshadowed their victory. Football is a passionate sport, but [discipline](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/transfer-news/yobo-premier-league-move-to-everton-ideal-for-moses-simon/) must always come first especially when it comes to respecting officials and dignitaries.
<br>
<br>The incident occurred at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan, after Inter Lagos defeated Ikorodu City in a tense final. Supporters of the newly crowned champions caused disruptions in the VIP section, leaving dignitaries, stakeholders, and government officials shocked and disappointed.

<br>In response, the Lagos State Football Association LSFA The Disciplinary Committee convened on March 3, 2025, at the Surulere Secretariat, where they deliberated on the situation. Chaired by LSFA Vice-Chairman Mr [Adedotun](https://cac5.altervista.org/index.php?title=Utente:JasperComeau60) Coker, the committee emphasized that the disruptive behaviour tarnished the reputation of the competition.
<br>
<br>The N1 million fine and mandatory public apology serve as a strong warning to clubs and their supporters that crowd behaviour is taken seriously. If similar incidents continue, clubs could face stricter sanctions, including stadium bans or point deductions.
