British Minister for Culture to Convene Meeting on Maccabi Tel Aviv Fan Ban
A law enforcement official from the central England region has called for an urgent review of the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv's supporters from attending the forthcoming match.
Simon Foster, who oversees the police department, explains that this request aims to verify whether the ban is suitable, essential, justified, reasonable, and a proportionate measure to accomplish a lawful objective.
"That must include consideration of all and any appropriate, alternative options," the official adds.
The commissioner has also requested to review the official ruling and suggestion from the advisory group, along with the police assessment.
He underscores, however, that the final decision belongs to the advisory group and the authorities.
