Sports News | Belgian Soccer League Bans Visiting Fans Following Violence

Brussels, Dec 6 (AP) Visiting soccer fans will be banned from games in Belgium until the end of the year after two matches were marred by violence over the weekend, the Belgian league said Monday.

Flares were thrown at the two games and some rowdy fans ran on to the field in what the league called “unacceptable and even criminal behavior."

Visiting fans will now be kept away from league games in the two top divisions and from the quarterfinals in the Belgian Cup.

"The measure amounts to a cooling off period,” the Belgian league said in a statement.

Crowd trouble also marred the match between Beerschot and Antwerp, where one Beerschot fan threw a flare into a stand of Antwerp supporters. (AP)
