The "Battle of the Flags" continues in Bursa today. During the
pre-match morning FIFA-organized delegations meeting, the FIFA
commissioner requested that no flags whatsoever be allowed into
the stadium.

As reported by Tert.am’s correspondent from Bursa, the FIFA
commissioner noted that the organization is even prepared to send
a formal letter to Bursa’s city hall and to the Turkish Football
Federation, since this is a match which is taking place under FIFA’s
patronage and FIFA is the one who makes decisions in this regard.

It’s important to note, however, that already one can see a few
Azerbaijani flags strung from trees near the stadium. There is the
impression that, in the city, this topic is deliberately getting
heated.
