Ajax hooligan gets 30-year stadium ban

The Ajax fan who charged AZ’s keeper Esteban Alvarado during last Wednesday’s Dutch Cup tie has been given a 30-year stadium ban.


The 19-year-old youth had already been banned from the Ajax ground for an earlier incident but got a ticket for the match from a friend.
According to the Telegraaf, Ajax is holding both the youth and the friend who supplied the ticket liable for any damages caused by the incident. The youth was remanded in custody for 14 days on Saturday.

Replay

The Dutch football association has not yet decided if the match should be replayed or restarted.
The attack led to AZ’s keeper Esteban being given a red card after kicking his would-be attacker as he lay on the ground. Alkmaar coach Gertjan Verbeek then ordered his team to walk out in protest. Ajax was 1-0 ahead. The red card has since been withdrawn.
