Ahead of their UEFA Conference League second qualifying round match against AEK Larnaca on July 23, Beitar Jerusalem fans reportedly caused disturbances in the streets of Larnaca, Cyprus. Local Cypriot media reported that the fans damaged property and carried dangerous objects, prompting a large police response including tear gas to disperse the crowd. The police conducted a widespread search to identify and arrest those involved in the unrest. Authorities increased security measures around the AEK Arena and throughout the city to prevent further clashes between the fan groups.
Beitar Jerusalem responded to the reports by denying any damage caused by their supporters.
