MPs Criticize 'Clumsy' Government Response to Maccabi Tel Aviv Fan Ban - SCCG Management

A select committee stated that the government’s decision to overturn the exclusion of fans from a match was “late” and only served to heighten tensions.

MPs criticized the government’s handling of West Midlands police’s decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, describing the response as “clumsy” and ineffective, according to their findings.

The home affairs select committee’s report, released on Sunday, evaluated the initial ban on away fans for a Europa League game against Aston Villa in November, including the advice behind it.
