Eindhoven Police Detain About 180 Napoli Fans Ahead of PSVNapoli Match

Officials describe the arrests as a preventive public-order step under a mayor-declared high-risk zone.

Overview

  • Detentions took place Monday evening in the city centre after officers said a large group ignored orders to disperse.
  • Police reported no clashes or riots and said the operation was intended to avert disorder.
  • About 180 Napoli supporters were held for violating municipal assembly rules and taken by bus to the Mathildelaan station for questioning.
  • Four PSV supporters were also stopped in different parts of Eindhoven for the same reason.
  • The action followed Mayor Jeroen Dijsselbloem’s designation of a high-risk zone allowing preventive searches, and police said some detainees lacked match tickets.
