The Community Shield was moved from its traditional home at Wembley to Cardiff this year because Wembley was unavailable, with the Principality Stadium hosting the fixture instead.
The scenes of disorder have overshadowed what was expected to be a major football occasion, with supporters from both clubs travelling to Cardiff for the highly anticipated encounter.
Authorities had already made arrangements to manage the rival fan groups in Cardiff city centre, reflecting concerns over crowd movement and potential clashes on matchday.
