The British government is trying to find a solution, considering the anti-Semitic trends in the country. There have been strong protests against Israel's warfare in Gaza, which, among other things, led to an attack on a synagogue in Manchester earlier in October.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer says it was a wrong decision by the police to recommend that Aston Villa stop Israeli supporters of Maccabi Tel Aviv from coming to the Europa League match at Villa Park in Birmingham on November 6.
A spokesperson for Starmer says the government is working swiftly to change the decision.
"We do not tolerate anti-Semitism on our streets. The police's task is to ensure that all football fans can enjoy the match without having to be afraid of violence or threats", Starmer writes on X.
According to Aston Villa, the police are concerned about "public safety outside the stadium and the possibility of handling potential protests during the evening".
The police consider the match to be a high-risk match, especially considering the large unrest in Amsterdam when Ajax met Maccabi Tel Aviv last season.
