Aug 26 (Reuters) - ⁠Feyenoord will not allow travelling ⁠supporters to attend their next ‌two away matches after fans let off fireworks that injured seven people and held ​up their Dutch ⁠league game at ⁠Cambuur Leeuwarden on Sunday.

Feyenoord are barring ⁠their fans ‌from the away sections at NEC Nijmegen ⁠and PEC Zwolle next month.

"The club ​management has ‌decided to do this following ⁠the much-discussed ​and completely unacceptable fireworks incident in Leeuwarden last Sunday," the ⁠club said on Wednesday.

Feyenoord face ​a heavy fine for the incident in Leeuwarden as home supporters ⁠suffered burns, hearing damage and eye injuries, with the match halted for around 20 minutes in the ​first half, after ⁠away fans lit a large number ​of red flares ‌and threw fireworks.
