Home Office offers extra resources in effort to undo Maccabi Tel Aviv fans ban
No 10 says talks happening ‘at pace’ over West Midlands police order banning fans from attending Aston Villa tie
The Home Office is offering extra support to West Midlands police in an effort to reverse its ban on fans of the Israeli football team Maccabi Tel Aviv attending a match at Villa Park next month.
After a political outcry about the police decision that would stop the Israeli team’s fans going to the match, Downing Street said on Friday that discussions were happening “at pace across government” to resolve the issue.
