Aston Villa will be hosting Israeli team Maccabi Tel Aviv in a Europa League match in Birmingham on Nov. 6. Last week, The Athletic reported that the West Midlands Police had requested that Maccabi fans be barred from the stadium and prevented from buying tickets to the match. The police, in consultation with Aston Villa and the city's Safety Advisory Group, requested that UEFA withhold approval of the standard allotment of tickets that would normally be made available to away fans, citing "a number of physical and safety factors."
The decision to keep Maccabi fans out of Birmingham is fully justified, and not out of step with how other European club competitions have been run in the past. It is not uncommon for away fans to be banned from matches based on previous instances of violent conduct, or the potential for future clashes between supporters. The city of Birmingham's concerns about what might happen if Maccabi fans descend on Villa Park are well-founded: Birmingham has a high Muslim population; in the run-up to a Europa League game against Ajax last November, racist and violent Maccabi fans wreaked havoc all over Amsterdam. Groups of Maccabi fans spent multiple days in Amsterdam, clashing with pro-Palestine protestors, attacking people, singing a whole catalogue of blatantly racist chants and songs, and getting beaten up by locals who got tired of their shit. It is good and sensible to want to keep fans who engage in that kind of behavior out of your city.
None of those facts were enough to stop UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer from calling Birmingham's decision an act of antisemitism. | |
