Major police operation planned: protest against Austria Wien vs. Beitar Jerusalem match
Published
In Vienna, organizers are planning protests against the participation of the Israeli football club Beitar Jerusalem in the UEFA Conference League. The demonstrators want to use this to protest against the match in which the Vienna club Austria Wien will face the team from Jerusalem.
Because of the planned rallies, unrest is feared. The police are therefore preparing a major operation to ensure security around the stadium and during the events. Details of the exact course of the operation and the number of officers deployed have not yet been announced.
The participation of Israeli clubs in European competitions repeatedly sparks debate. UEFA has allowed Beitar Jerusalem to take part in the Conference League, although this decision has drawn criticism. The organizers of the protests see the match as an occasion to publicly express their position.
For fans and visitors to the match, the major operation means that checks and restrictions are to be expected. It is recommended to follow the current information from the police and the club and to prepare in good time for possible traffic disruptions.
