Oranje England football friendly cancelled due to riots

Rioting in London has led to the cancellation of Wednesday night’s football friendly between the Netherlands and England, the Dutch football association said on Tuesday.


The area around Wembley stadium where the match is due to take place has also been affected by the riots and looting.
In a statement, the KNVB said the riots meant there was not enough police capacity to cover the match.
