Beitar Jerusalem will host Maccabi Tel Aviv on Monday in a highly anticipated match, marking Maccabi's return to the capital. Following the sale of 20,000 season tickets, ticket sales for club members opened on Tuesday. Approximately 26,000 Beitar fans are expected to attend, joined by around 3,000 Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters.
This game will debut a significant change in Teddy Stadium's seating arrangements for Beitar fans. For the first time when playing a major opponent, Beitar supporters will occupy the southeast stand, while Maccabi fans will be in the southwest stand. This reconfiguration involved moving season ticket holders from the southern stand to the northern stand.
The change was implemented following a police request to reduce the buffer zone between opposing fan bases. Previously, the police had frozen about 5,000 tickets to create separation. The new arrangement is expected to significantly decrease the required buffer, with the final size to be determined after a meeting between Beitar representatives and the police.
