AZ - Hapoel Beër Sheva match to go ahead in Alkmaar without Israeli fa

The match between AZ and Hapoel Beër Sheva on 15 October in the Europa League will take place in Alkmaar, but without supporters from the Israeli club. This was confirmed by the municipality of Alkmaar after a request from NOS Voetbal.

The municipality of Alkmaar has stated that the supporters of Hapoel Beër Sheva have a medium risk profile, according to information from UEFA. This decision comes after a risk analysis was made by the Alkmaarse driehoek (burgemeester, officier van justitie en politiechef), which found that the combination of the match, the stay and the movements of supporters, possible demonstrations and the social context around the match posed a risk. The municipality of Alkmaar explicitly mentioned the violent riots that occurred during the match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2024. "We must unfortunately conclude that the tension in society has not decreased in the past two years. This warning we must take to heart," the municipality stated.
