Assistant Chief Constable Mike O’Hara and West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner Simon Foster were also questioned about their decision-making.
The match, policed by more than 700 officers, passed off without serious disorder and only a handful of arrests, following the decision on the ban by the city’s Safety Advisory Group (SAG), a panel that includes Birmingham City Council as well as police.
Mr Guildford said: “The information provided from the Dutch was very, very clear in terms of they reflected on the days before, during and after the match as a result of clashes between the Maccabi ultras and the local Muslim community.
“In terms of what we were told, the ultras were very well organised, militaristic in the way that they operated.
“They attacked members of the local community, including taxi drivers. Tore down flags. People were thrown into the river.”
He added that the Dutch commanders were “unequivocal” that they “would never want to have Maccabi Tel Aviv playing in Amsterdam again in the future”.
The ban was the “best way to minimise the risks” to the local community, players and fans, said Mr O’Hara.
“Had we allowed the fans and it had gone wrong I feel that I would be sitting here again anyway.”
