French police "are dragging" Russian football supporters out of their bus and have announced deportation, the head of the Russian Union of Fans said.

MOSCOW(Sputnik) — Around 50 Russian supporters who were heading to France's Lille for the upcoming Russia-Slovakia football match will be deported, the head of the Russian Union of Fans said Tuesday.

"Police are now dragging us out of the bus, they've announced deportation. No reasons are being given. There are 50 people in the bus. This is some kind of show-off, none of us were detained in Marseilles riots, but for some reason they're targeting the official fans union delegation," Alexander Shprygin told R-Sport over the phone.
