The Tel Aviv derby in the Toto Cup will feature extensive security measures, with 600 guards and 400 police officers assigned to maintain order at Bloomfield Stadium. This heightened security is intended to prevent incidents during the highly anticipated match.
The League Management asserts that this game is the most expensive in Israeli football history, predicting financial losses. The preparations are significantly more robust than for a typical derby due to the 50-50 stadium seating arrangement and the absence of a designated home team, which is expected to create two large fan contingents. Additionally, cellular antennas will be erected to ensure mobile reception.
Currently, the police have also prohibited the use of banners, a common practice for Maccabi and Hapoel Tel Aviv fans during major games. Police are concerned that fans might exploit this to smuggle and throw flares, leading to disturbances.
