Egypt Daily News – The UEFA decision to relocate the upcoming match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Beşiktaş to a neutral venue follows significant unrest that erupted during a previous match in Amsterdam.
This decision was influenced by the Turkish government’s request, concerned about the safety of the Beşiktaş team and its fans after violent clashes resulted in injuries and arrests during the match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The Amsterdam police reported that five individuals were hospitalized due to injuries sustained during the riots, and a total of 62 people were arrested in connection with the incidents.
Authorities are currently investigating allegations of potential hostage-taking amidst the turmoil, and some individuals who were reported missing have been located.
The escalating violence has prompted the Dutch security forces to enhance their scrutiny of the events surrounding the match, as they aim to fully understand the causes of the riots and address the community’s concerns about public safety in the area.
