The Guardian reported that due to security issues, fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv will be prohibited by local police from going to the away game to watch the Europa League match against Villa on November 7. This decision has triggered strong reactions.
British Prime Minister Starmer said: "This is a wrong decision. We will not tolerate anti-Semitism on our streets. The duty of the police is to ensure that all fans can enjoy the game without fear of violence or intimidation."
Vera confirmed that they implemented the ban in accordance with the instructions of the local security advisory group, and stated that the safety of fans and local residents is the primary consideration. UEFA reiterated that the security of matches is solely the responsibility of local authorities.
