Marlaska announces reinforcements on the Ceuta and Melilla border in the face of the threat of another entry during the Moroccan elections

The National Police warned the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) on Friday, suggesting they refrain from hosting the friendly match between the Spanish under-20 national team and Mexico in Ceuta on September 30. This recommendation is due to the "exceptional situation" the city is experiencing, largely attributed to the ongoing "migratory pressure."

The police report, obtained by this newspaper, highlights several factors that make organizing the event challenging. The current social tension in Ceuta that demands an extraordinary police resource effort, the security needs likely generated by the match, the limitations of the sports facility, and the limited timeframe available all contribute to the difficulty in providing adequate police coverage for the event, according to the General Office of Citizen Security.
