Alkmaarse gemeenteraad kritisch op draai burgemeester rond weren Hapoel-fans na aandringen Amsterdam

The municipal council of Alkmaar has expressed criticism regarding the decision of Mayor Anja Schouten to ban supporters of the Israeli football club Hapoel Be'er Sheva from attending next week Thursday's match against AZ.

The measure was taken only after Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema alerted local authorities to potential security risks surrounding the event, prompting the reversal in Alkmaar's stance.
