More than 700 officers will be on duty for Aston Villa's Europa League match against Israeli side Maccabi Tel Aviv on Thursday.

周四阿斯顿维拉队与以色列球队特拉维夫马卡比队在欧联杯的比赛中，将有700多名警员执勤。

伯明翰安全咨询小组（SAG）上月宣布，鉴于公共安全方面的担忧，将禁止客队球迷前往维拉公园球场观看比赛。

这一禁令遭到了广泛谴责，英国首相基尔·斯塔默爵士和文化大臣丽莎·南迪均称该决定“错误”。

Birmingham Police commander chief superintendent Tom Joyce said the plans "balance the right to protest with our duty to protect all communities in Birmingham".
