Due to the Ajax-Maccabi Tel Aviv football match, Dam Square, the Red Light District, Central Station and the area around the Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam have been declared a safety risk area from 1 p.m.
The police take into account that supporters are out to disrupt public order and can therefore preventively search everyone in these areas and check for the possession of fireworks, for example.
Pro-Palestinian demonstration
Furthermore, an announced pro-Palestinian demonstration at the Johan Cruijff ArenA there from the Amsterdam triangle (mayor, chief public prosecutor and police chief) may not take place due to the risk of ‘violent confrontations’. The triangle has designated the Anton de Komplein in Zuidoost as a replacement location.
The demonstrators, under the name Week 4 Palestine, wanted to protest at the entrance of the stadium against the arrival of the Israeli football club. The F-side, the hard core of Ajax, then said that they will not tolerate the protest and will ‘intervene where necessary’.
