The call comes after police unions Monday said they will not be present at the highly-charged game, which was scheduled to be played at Feyenoord’s De Kuip stadium in Rotterdam on Sunday.
“The safety of players, as well as the public cannot be adequately guaranteed without the involvement of the police,” Aboutaleb said in a statement sent to AFP.
“The decision was taken in consultation with safety and security officials and has been communicated to the parties involved,” he said.
A new date for the clash has not yet been set.
Dutch police unions have run industrial actions for several months to protest the dropping of a scheme for early pensions for law officers next year.
