…following Belgium defeat to Morocco at the World Cup.
Riots have broken out in several Belgian and Dutch cities after Morocco shocked Belgium by winning 2-0 during a World Cup clash in Qatar.
Police arrested about a dozen people after using water cannons and tear gas to disperse crowds in Brussels - and held eight more in the northern city of Antwerp.
Two police officials were injured in the Dutch port city of Rotterdam, where riot officers tackled a group of 500 football supporters who pelted police with fireworks and glass.
Disturbances were also reported in Amsterdam and The Hague.
In Brussels, police were forced to seal off parts of the city as they tried to disperse crowds.
Cars were pelted with bricks and steps were set on fire, while one person suffered facial injuries, according to Brussels police spokeswoman Ilse Van de Keere.
Philippe Close, the mayor of Brussels, urged football fans to stay away from the city centre and said authorities were doing their utmost to keep order in the streets.
Subway and tram traffic had to be interrupted on police orders.
"Those are not fans, they are rioters. Moroccan fans are there to celebrate," Mr Close said.
