On July 13, the UK’s Daily Mail reported that family and friends of England players attending the Euro final will be seated in a “neutral zone” in the stands of the Berlin Olympic Stadium. This measure is being taken to enhance security and prevent a repeat of the fighting in the stands at the Copa America.
Ahead of the highly anticipated Euro final, UEFA has raised the bar for security arrangements. In light of the incident at the England vs. Slovenia group match in Cologne, where fans threw beer cups at England manager Gareth Southgate, striking England family members sitting nearby, UEFA has designated a “neutral zone” behind the dugout for players’ families to ensure their absolute safety.
Furthermore, UEFA is collaborating with German police to implement multiple measures to maintain order on the day of the final. The Berlin Olympic Stadium boasts a capacity of 71,000, and German capital police are on high alert to prevent a repeat of last year’s Euro final, where thousands of ticketless England fans breached security and stormed Wembley Stadium.
Leveraging the layout of the Berlin Olympic Stadium, police have effectively established a perimeter by utilizing the surrounding park. Fans will undergo multiple ticket checks before reaching the entrance turnstiles, ensuring absolute safety.
