The Nijmegen police have been monitoring the situation closely, with several NEC supporters being removed from the city centre on Wednesday evening. According to VoetbalPrimeur, the police have also deployed a drone and several buses from the Mobile Unit in the city centre. The Gelderlander newspaper reports that the situation in Nijmegen is being closely watched.
The NEC fans' challenge to their Bulgarian counterparts is believed to be in response to the team's 5-0 defeat to Juventus before the international break. Levski Sofia fans have already arrived in Nijmegen, with hundreds expected to attend the match on Thursday. The police will remain on high alert to ensure a smooth and safe match.
