iTrader, the primary sponsor of the Beitar Jerusalem soccer club, cancels its sponsorship agreement with the club after fans rioted in a Belgian stadium and injured the goalkeeper of Belgian opponent Sporting Charleroi during a match last week.

The funding given to the club by investment house iTrader had totaled NIS 1 million ($260,000).
