Oranje fans take to the streets; Handful of incidents

Oranje fans took to the streets to celebrate the Dutch team's European Championship victory against Austria in various cities on Thursday evening. The streets of The Hague, Apeldoorn and Enschede, among others, were quite crowded at points, leading to some unrest and a few arrests.

Like Sunday, Oranje fans gathered around the Jonckbloetplein in The Hague, despite the municipality putting up signs asking people to stay home after the match. The police intervened when people started pelting them with fireworks, Omroep West reports. There was also some unrest on Marktweg, where the police also intervened. Some arrests were made.

Het bleef vanavond vrij rustig op het #Jonckbloetplein in #DenHaag. Er kwam wel wat volk naar de kruising en er werd volop getoeterd, maar de politie voorkwam ongeregeldheden. Er werd even zwaar vuurwerk afgestoken, waarop een aantal aanhoudingen volgden.. pic.twitter.com/fgFdHzTGfu

Zwaar vuurwerk komt vooral vanuit de Jan Wapstraat bij het #Jonckbloetplein in #DenHaag. Minimaal 1 aanhouding. Politie op het plein gaat ‘rondrijden’. ⁦@omroepwest⁩ pic.twitter.com/1KJq18FiMT

The Apeldoorn municipality closed the roundabout where Oranje fans traditionally celebrate to traffic before the Euro 2020 match, but hundreds of people still gathered there on foot, De Stentor reported. The mood among the celebrators turned grim around midnight. A girl sustained minor injuries when she was hit by a firework. Multiple arrests were made.
