Maccabi Haifa announced Sunday that it will not distribute tickets for its upcoming away games at Jerusalem's Teddy Stadium, citing a pattern of alleged police violence against the team's fans. The club stated that its supporters have experienced a significant number of violent incidents involving local police during matches at the stadium in recent years. Despite repeated appeals and discussions with the Jerusalem District Police, the club claims no necessary change in conduct has occurred, and in several instances, force deemed disproportionate was used against their fans. The team is scheduled to play Hapoel Jerusalem at Teddy Stadium next Monday and will face Beitar Jerusalem there on February 27th. Maccabi Haifa indicated that this decision stems from the ongoing issues and the lack of improvement in police interactions with their fanbase.
