Beitar fans get ban over Belgium match melee
Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court bans 12 Beitar Jerusalem fans from soccer pitches in Israel over unruly behavior at an away game against Belgium’s Sporting Charleroi this month, Army Radio says.
The fan who hurled a firework onto the pitch is banned for two full seasons, while others are banned for periods ranging from 90 days to a full season.
The ban includes training sessions and cup matches. The fans will be required to present themselves at a police station when games are on.
The ban comes in time for the return match in Jerusalem tonight.
