Croatian media: eighteen Ajax supporters arrested in Split

Eighteen Ajax supporters were preventively arrested in Split, Croatia, after police reportedly found knives and stone blocks in their possession. The arrests occurred ahead of an upcoming match against Hajduk Split, following specific safety warnings issued by Ajax to its traveling fanbase.

Police in the Croatian city of Split arrested eighteen Ajax supporters on a terrace ahead of the upcoming match against Hajduk Split. According to local media, authorities discovered stone blocks and knives during the intervention. These preventative arrests were aimed at avoiding violent confrontations between the visiting Ajax fans and the notoriously fanatical Hajduk Split supporters. The match is scheduled to take place tomorrow evening at 18.45.

In preparation for the trip, Ajax had issued several safety warnings to its supporters, urging them to avoid wearing club colors or moving in identifiable groups. The club also warned fans about potential risks involving local taxi drivers, who may have connections to the Hajduk Split fanbase. As a result, many supporters have stopped sharing location information on social media to prevent tracking by local groups. Fans have been advised to exercise extreme caution regarding their movements and hotel drop-off locations to ensure their safety in the city.
