Jupiler Pro League Strikes Back: Antwerp’s Action Plan Following Bruges Incident
Jupiler Pro League Incident Overview
The incident occurred at the final whistle of the match. Fireworks were launched from the visiting stands towards the game's sole scorer, Gustaff Nilsson, and the Bruges crowd. Instead of imposing traditional penalties like point deductions or matches without fans, the federal prosecutor, Ebe Verhaegen, opted for a proactive approach by urging Antwerp to come up with a safety action plan.
Antwerp's Commitment to Safety
Antwerp has acknowledged this proposal and expressed its commitment to tackle the issue. The club has already hired a security consultant who has undergone federal training. This consultant is expected to assess the current safety measures, which have not been adequately consistent, and subsequently draft a comprehensive strategy to bolster security.
