In Amsterdam, riots have erupted, with hundreds of Ajax fans gathering at Leidseplein to protest against the police strikes. The clashes between fans and law enforcement were triggered by the cancellation of Ajax's second consecutive Eredivisie match.
Details: The fifth-round match between Ajax and Utrecht, scheduled for September 15 in Amsterdam, will not take place, according to the club's press service. Both teams tried until the last moment to arrange the game, but no agreement was reached. The reason for the postponement is the same as for the canceled match between Ajax and Feyenoord.
Organizers do not allow league matches to be held without police presence, but law enforcement officers continue their protest by refusing to issue fines for minor infractions.
Despite numerous warnings, fan groups persist in seeking confrontation. The mobile unit is currently attempting to disperse the unruly football supporters.
Recall: After two matches, Ajax has earned three points and is in 15th place in the standings, while Utrecht has 10 points from four games and is in third place.
