Over 200 notorious football hooligans listed in national databank
The national databank contains the details of 213 notorious football hooligans, according to official figures released on Wednesday.
Among them are 25 PSV supporters, 14 from FC Twente, and ten each from Feyenoord and Ajax.
The databank was set up by justice minister Ivo Opstelten two years ago and police began adding hooligans’ details at the start of the last football season.
On Tuesday official figures showed that violent incidences occurred at 702 of the 778 matches played last season. The number of incidences rose to 739 from 653 the previous season and the number of arrests increased by 40% to 908.
