The Netherlands is again in the news with football-related riots. Ten Dutch hooligans were arrested in Germany for being involved in riots around an amateur match between Lippstadt 08 and Sportfreunde Siegen on Sunday. 26 Germans were also arrested, according to news wire ANP.

On Monday the German police stated their "surprise" about the Dutch presence in the riots. The rioters threw chairs and ashtrays and fought with each other.

The Dutch hooligans are all from Zwolle and they were since released. According to the news wire, the hardcore fan base of PEC Zwolle, called Far East Ultras, have close ties with Lippstadt hooligans, who call themselves Los Aliados.
