Pays-Bas-Maroc: "Une situation dangereuse", arrestations... des débordements dans des villes néerlandaises après le match

Minutes after Morocco's dramatic late-night victory over the Netherlands in the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup (1-1 after extra time, 3-2 on penalties), several streets in major Dutch cities were flooded with Moroccan fans. Clashes with local police broke out in some of them.

Many cities in the Netherlands awoke to the sound of car horns this Tuesday morning. Shortly before 6 a.m., Morocco secured their place in the Round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup at the expense of the Netherlands in a match with a crazy script. The Atlas Lions prevailed in a penalty shootout (3-2, 1-1 after extra time) after coming close to elimination in a match they dominated for much of the game.

As soon as Ismael Saibari's successful attempt and the final whistle blew, the streets of major Dutch cities filled with Moroccan supporters, members of a community of 400,000 in the country. Fireworks, flares, chants... The celebrations were in full swing, first in Utrecht and then in Amsterdam.

Arrests in The Hague

But the situation escalated in The Hague, in the Schilderswijk district, where numerous law enforcement officers had been mobilized prior to the match. "Heavy fireworks were set off and police officers were also bombarded with fireworks and stones," local authorities reported. "Riot police charged and a water cannon was deployed," while "a few people were arrested for public disorder." By around 8:00 a.m., the situation had returned to normal.

Around 7 a.m., the Telegraaf reported "chaos in Amsterdam and Utrecht." In the Lombok district of Utrecht, police intervened, notably to disperse hooded individuals who were knocking over safety barriers. "Absolutely all the rules are being flouted. They're riding on the sidewalk and the bike path. It's a dangerous situation, especially for people going to work or to their sports activities," commented journalist Marcel Vink, who was on the scene.

In Rotterdam, the West-Kruiskade district had to be evacuated after more than two hours of celebrations. By 8:30 a.m., the situation was calm.

Et pour tous ces supporters marocains qui ont troublé l'ordre public chez les néerlandais, les Pays-Bas vont adopter la même attitude que le Maroc avec les sénégalais?

J’ai toujours dit que les hollandais ne sont pas des compétiteurs ils se lâchent sur les matchs à élimination directe. Je souhaite les rencontrer en 8ème, quart, et demi-finale.
