Maccabi Tel Aviv will decline any tickets offered to their fans for a Europa League away match at Aston Villa, the Israeli club announced Monday.The announcement came only a day after Israeli police called off the Israeli Premier League match between Maccabi and city rivals Hapoel because of "riots" between rival fans.

The decision to ban Macabbi Tel Aviv fans from a Europa League match between the Israeli club and Aston Villa in Birmingham next month was made after the local authorities spoke to the Dutch police, The Guardian reported.

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said she is “saddened” the owner of Maccabi Tel Aviv would not be accepting an allocation of tickets for their game against Aston Villa.

Nine people have been arrested after the Israeli Premier League football derby between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv was abandoned before a ball was kicked on Sunday night (19 October) following violent clashes between rival fans and police.
