“Unfortunately, we see again a small part of fans who come to the fields with intentions of confrontations and violence and not watching a soccer game. We will not allow injury and risk to fans and will act with zero tolerance towards those who break the law. All the detainees and the seized means of attack were transferred to the investigation offices in the Ayalon area,” the Israeli police wrote in another tweet.
Bloomfield Stadium is located in Tel Aviv-Yafo and its total crowd capacity is 29,400 people, according to The Stadium Guide.
