A man has been forcibly ejected from Western Sydney’s CommBank Stadium for barracking (chanting a slogan) for “Team Taiwan” during a Women’s Asian Cup soccer match between the Taiwanese team and India.

Amateur footage reveals the altercation between Chen Kuei-jen, a delegate of the Taiwan women’s national team, and security staff working for the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), who accused him of leading a “political chant.”
