Britain's government is taking steps to ensure that fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv can safely attend their team's upcoming soccer match in Birmingham. Interior minister Shabana Mahmood emphasized the government's commitment to combating antisemitism and protecting all football fans. The Birmingham club had previously announced that Israeli supporters would be barred from attending due to security concerns, following recent anti-Israel protests at international matches and past incidents of violence targeting Maccabi Tel Aviv fans. Authorities are now working to address these safety issues and facilitate attendance for traveling supporters.
