Football fans celebrate variety: a spectacular summer 2025 in Germany!

What's in the German fan scene? In the last few weeks of the summer break, many events have taken place, the supporters of which footballers enthusiastically report. From colorful tournaments to important discussions - the fans are active and creative. Numerous events took place in various cities in Germany that witness the strong connection within the fan scenes. Fascination fankurve has recorded the highlights.

FC St. Pauli was particularly active in Hamburg. The annual anti-shaped tournament took place here, which was organized by the Ultrascene USP. Visitors from countries such as Italy, France and Israel traveled, including supporters of Sampdoria Genoa, Marseille and Hapoel Tel-Aviv. The event, which ran from May 30th to June 1, was able to count on an impressive number of participants of over 2000 people who took part in football tournaments and partly stayed in the stadium. On Friday there was a harbor tour, which dealt with Nazi history and forced labor in the port of Hamburg. In the evening, exciting lectures on state repression were kept in the evening, which was moderated by the Vice President of FC St. Pauli, Luise Gottberg.

multi -layered events of the fan scenes

But there was a lot to experience not only in Hamburg. The Ultras of Dynamo Dresden were also active: On June 1st, the "Children's Day in Dynamoland" took place in the Albert Schwarz-Bad in Heidenau, to which over 700 participants from family centers and sports clubs came. This shows how football also acts as a means of promoting community.

In Frankfurt, the 25th anniversary of the friendship was celebrated in Bergamo, while in Bochum the annual summer cup of the east curve was on the program. Here the fans had the opportunity to visit different stands and actively participate in the celebrations. In Cottbus, the "Ultima Raka" group at the "Ur Summer and Family Festival 2025" provided high spirits in beach volleyball and watching the Champions League final.

• Erfurt celebrated the “Youth Day” on May 31, on which the Steigerwald curve supported the U16 of the association.
• In Sinsheim, the first “Mo Memorial Turnier” was also held in favor of a late member of TSG Hoffenheim.
• And as if that weren't enough, the 1. FC Kaiserslautern celebrated its foundation day with an impressive fireworks.

racism and discrimination in football

This great atmosphere is overshadowed by serious topics such as racism and discrimination. According to a current study by Deutschlandfunk, 8 % of those surveyed in club football have a right -wing extremist world view, and approval of racist statements is above average among club members. This shows that there is a lot of commitment to discrimination on the one hand, but on the other hand there is still a long way to go.

The sports educators emphasize that football should be a room for inclusion and diversity, but we are currently facing the challenge of fighting negative tendencies. It takes role models that stand up for values ​​and respect. Initiatives such as those of St. Pauli who actively oppose racism and discuss alternative football models are of great importance. The work that is done here could be the foundation to bring future generations closer to a tolerant football culture.

This remains to be seen how the fan scenes develop and which topics they will move in the near future. However, one thing is clear: the fan base knows what it wants - a football that is there for everyone!
