RIO DE JANEIRO : Dozens of supporters of Brazilian team Botafogo invaded the club's training centre in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday to protest against the club's poor run of form.
Local police were called to the Espaco Lonier facility in the west side of the city and images posted by organised supporter groups on social media showed people storming into the club's medical offices and remonstrating with several players and officials.The supporters' anger follows a series of bad results for Botafogo, who have lost four consecutive games in Brazil's Serie A.
However, they have faced serious financial trouble and have been relegated to Brazil's Serie B three times in the last 20 years. In January Botafogo's board voted to abandon their traditional model of being a social club and sold 90 per cent of their shares to U.S. businessman John Textor, owner of Premier League Crystal Palace.
He became a celebrity among soccer fans following his arrival at Botafogo, but the mood among the club's fanbase has recently turned sour.
