ANSA – 180 Napoli Fans Arrested in Eindhoven: What Happened

Citing local police sources, the Dutch press reports that around 180 Napoli fans were arrested last night in the center of Eindhoven. Four PSV fans—according to ANP—were also detained for the same reason in different areas of Eindhoven, where tonight the Neapolitan football team will face the local team in the third matchday of the Champions League group stage. The local police stated that there were no actual disturbances or fights: according to a spokesperson, the authorities wanted to prevent such incidents precisely by making the arrests. This was reported by the local news agency ANP, adding that there were no clashes with PSV fans either.

The Dutch police described the Napoli fans as a “large group” with a “certain atmosphere”: officers asked the fans to leave the city center, but their requests were reportedly ignored. The fans were therefore arrested for violating municipal regulations regarding gatherings and were taken by bus to the Mathildelaan police station, where they will be questioned. Some of those detained reportedly did not have tickets for tonight’s Champions League match. The mayor of Eindhoven, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, had previously established a high-risk security zone in anticipation of the match. This allows police to carry out preventive searches in the city center and other locations in the city.
