Germany braces for clash: Serbian hooligans vs. England fans at Euro 2024

June 11, 2024 - German authorities are bracing for a potential clash between Serbian hooligans and England fans at the upcoming Euro 2024 match in Gelsenkirchen. According to the Guardian, the Chief of Police in Gelsenkirchen, Peter Both, has warned that up to 500 violence-seeking Serbian hooligans are expected to travel to Germany, although the exact number remains unknown.

"We don't know it exactly, and so that's our problem at the moment," Chief Both said, emphasizing the challenge in intercepting the group before they can cause trouble.

German police are working to prevent any violent incidents by intercepting the hooligans before they can reach the stadium. The authorities are taking the situation seriously, given the history of violence between Serbian and English football fans.

The match is scheduled for Sunday, and fans are advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities. The police are urging fans to prioritize their safety and avoid any confrontations.
