Overview
- Spain’s National Police said their sweep around Seville has logged about 160 identifications of radical supporters traveling for the match.
- Officers first stopped two Atlético de Madrid buses near La Carlota in Córdoba, where they recorded 91 people and took knives, wooden poles, chains, balaclavas, and a pistol holster.
- Checks later in Seville targeted Real Sociedad ultras and turned up a box with 95 iron bars plus helmets, mouthguards, sprays, and a newly seen head‑protecting “ultra” cap.
- Officials also reported five Italian ultras moving with the groups and said local radicals had mixed in with visiting factions.
- Police reported no serious incidents or arrests so far under a 1,600‑officer plan that uses route stops, vehicle searches, drones, and a high‑resolution helicopter.
