Aston Villa has asked supporters not to display political messages in the match against Maccabi Tel-Aviv, citing UEFA rules and safety concerns.

The English club Aston Villa has requested supporters not to display political messages during the Europa League match against Maccabi Tel Aviv, scheduled for November 6. This request comes in the context of the Israeli club's decision not to send supporters to the match, citing a "distortion of reality" from those suggesting that Aston Villa's decision is based on the behavior of their fans.

Aston Villa has banned the sale of tickets for visiting fans at the recommendation of the British police, citing concerns about their safety, a rare decision in the United Kingdom. The subject is sensitive, considering the recent attack in Manchester, and the club has emphasized that displaying political symbols is prohibited under UEFA regulations. Additionally, tensions have risen following the conflict between Israel and Hamas, and pro-Palestinian protesters have intensified their actions during sporting events.
