Roma will head to the Netherlands to face Vitesse in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the European Cup.
Tickets for this game are all sold out. At that time, the stands at the home of The Vertex will be full of holes.
For the home team, this is the second time the club has sold out of tickets this season. The last time a Dutch club sold out of tickets was at home against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. At that time, Vitesse beat the Premier League's top team 1-0 at home.
Against Roma, 24,000 spectators will watch the match live. Of these, visiting Roma fans have only 1,200 spectator seats.
There were many fans watching the ball, and the Vitesse team should have been happy. But the Dutch side is fretting over too many fans watching the ball.
This is because on March 5, when Vitesse played against Sparta Rotterdam at home, there was a riot among the home fans. That Eredivisie match was also interrupted by home fans entering the stadium and throwing debris at the stadium.
In the 25th round of the Eredivisie, Vitesse played at home against Sparta Rotterdam. During the match between the two teams, a fan entered the stadium and caused a commotion. When the game resumed, away goalkeeper Okeye was hit in the head by a can of beer. Fans then threw debris and firecrackers at the stadium. The race was thus interrupted.
After this happened, the Vites club may be fined 200,000 euros.
Vitesse are about to play their home game against Roma in Serie A, and the stadium crowd is full of people that distress the Dutch side.
Because Vitesse's home stadium makes people feel that the stadium is no longer safe, more than 1200 fans will follow Roma to the Netherlands. The Italian police have contacted the Dutch side, hoping to ensure the safety of the fans.
In this case, the Dutch side will increase security personnel to avoid clashes between fans and to ensure that the game runs smoothly.
