The mayor of Alkmaar, Anja Schouten, stated she cannot guarantee the safety of Hapoel Be'er Sheva supporters traveling for an upcoming match. The decision to deny entry to fans has caused significant unrest in the city.
Schouten proposed that all visiting fans stay in a single, secured hotel. She claimed that Be'er Sheva has not made decisions regarding their fans, contrary to the club's assessment, and suggested the game could be moved elsewhere.
"We fear friction during the fans' stay, not just on game day," Schouten explained. "Be'er Sheva fans are a moderate risk, and hosting them is not easy. We learned from the match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax, and we must apply the lessons from that event."
The Alkmaar municipality estimated that approximately 950 fans would arrive. The club was attempting to arrange accommodation for all of them in one hotel, but learned that some fans had already booked their own hotels prior to the match.
