    Phone companies voluntarily handed over the mobile phone numbers of people who were in or around Feyenoord's Kuip stadium on the day of the match - traceable using broadcasting masts in the area.

    The phone companies did not give individual names to police, and police sent a standard message asking people to come forward if they had information.

    Another idea from the Dutch to track hooligans.
