Translation:
Yesterday, the police arrested 230 Napoli supporters and four PSV supporters in the city centre of Eindhoven. Due to tonight’s Champions League match, large groups of Italian supporters had already travelled to Eindhoven on Monday. Throughout the evening, large groups of supporters were present at various locations in the city. Because a possible confrontation between supporters of both clubs could not be ruled out, the group was closely monitored. The provocative behaviour of the group led to the large group of supporters being arrested for violating the General Local Regulation (APV). They have since been released with a fine and a 24-hour area ban.
On Friday, the tripartite committee had already decided to designate a security risk area around the PSV-Napoli match and to carry out preventive searches. This was due to signs of possible disturbances before and during the match. Together with all our partners, we want to ensure that Eindhoven is a welcoming football city for everyone, but within the applicable rules. Unfortunately, large groups of Napoli supporters did not comply with this on Monday evening. All Napoli supporters were arrested on Fuutlaan for violating the APV (General Local Regulation) in connection with gathering in a crowd. The arrested supporters were taken by bus to the police station on Mathildelaan. There they were questioned during the night and released with a fine and a ban from the city centre for the next 24 hours. The four PSV supporters who were arrested elsewhere in the city centre were also released with a fine and a ban. All arrested supporters in possession of a ticket are not allowed to attend tonight’s match.
Arrests
Today, the police will once again be present in Eindhoven city centre for the match between PSV and Napoli. We will take action against any disturbances where necessary. Let’s work together to ensure that tonight’s match and everything surrounding it runs smoothly so that everyone can enjoy the football match.
