‘We hope for a safe public order around the upcoming European football match (FC Utrecht - Nottingham Forest). Once again, we are deploying a significant force with hundreds of colleagues. We will be present in the city center, at the stadium, and other locations where supporters are or are expected to be. Our deployment aims to contribute to the safety of the people in the city, to prevent confrontations between rioters among the supporters of both clubs, from whom we expect normal behavior. May tonight be a beautiful and sporting football celebration for everyone!’
Johan van Hartskamp, Police Chief City of Utrecht
