Ahead of their Toto Cup away game against Bnei Sakhnin at Doha Stadium on Saturday at 20:30, Maccabi Haifa issued unusual instructions to their fans, urging them not to come alone to the stadium area. The club announced that after discussions with involved parties, ticket prices for the away supporters were reduced, with only 500 tickets allocated to Maccabi Haifa fans for the match. However, the main focus was on safety guidelines included in the announcement, which specifically recommended that fans arrive in groups of three or more for security reasons.
This rare advisory likely stems from past violent incidents near Doha Stadium. In November 2025, a disturbance occurred at a nearby restaurant where Maccabi Haifa supporters claimed they were attacked and had sticks and stones thrown at them. The club aims to minimize situations where lone fans might be vulnerable when arriving at or leaving the stadium area.
