WHAT A CARVE UP

Army-trained Russian Ultras divided France into four battlefronts ahead of Euro 2016

And the real bad news is they're not going home 'til the tournament is over

MILITARY-trained hooligans held a 'war cabinet' and carved up France into four separate battlefronts ahead of Euro 2016, we can reveal.

The ruthless Ultras divided the country between the three main Moscow fighting firms - CSKA, Spartak, Lokomotiv - leaving the one covering the England game in Marseilles a 'free for all'.

And the bad news for the French police, and other fans, is that the hooligans have marked 'their territory' 'til the very end of the tournament.

Different firms will be 'on duty' causing misery whether Russia are playing or not.

That means England fans could still run into their new terrace rivals long after their national team has gone home.

The revelations show the precision and planning the Russian yobs put into their own Euro 2016 campaign.

Respected Futbolgrad’s writer and Lokomotiv blogger Stefan Conforti found the map on a top Ultra's fan site.

He then posted the picture that highlighted that the hooligans of all the major Moscow clubs had carved up France into four - Lokomotiv Moscow, Spartak Moscow, CSKA Moscow and a free territory.

Lens - where England are paying tomorrow - and Lille was deemed Spartak’s sector.

These sorts of maps are usually posted on Russian fan forums, and even on several twitter accounts.

Conforti says while the map shows Lille and Lens are technically in Spartak’s zone, the fan groups of the big Moscow clubs have shown in the past that they are not above working together against a common enemy.
