High-risk game in Duisburg: Police mobilize 4,000 emergency services!
On Friday evening, a high -risk game is on the program in the MSV Duisburg stadium. The MSV Duisburg receives the team of Hansa Rostock, and the anticipation is tangible. Around 27,000 spectators are expected, including around 4,000 Hansa fans. It could be the first sold -out home game of the season, which also fueled the atmosphere.
But the game also has its downsides. Due to the rivalry between the two fan camps and the traditionally explosive encounter, the police have taken extensive security precautions. A major operation is being prepared hours before kick-off at 7 p.m. Police forces will be present in the stadium area and in the city of Duisburg to ensure the safety of everyone present. Spectators should allow more time than usual and early arrival is recommended. In addition, special control and security measures are being planned to prevent unrest.
Strict security measures
Another measure that the city of Duisburg has taken is the glass ban in the stadium environment. This ban applies from Friday, 2 p.m. to Saturday morning to avoid unpleasant situations. In addition, the fan camps in the Schlenk/Kalkweg area are run separately, and free places are set up as a buffer zone between the fan blocks. These measures are significant to increase security and minimize possible conflicts.
The high -risk game is not just a challenge for the police. A completely different topic is haunted in the background: the financing of the security measures. On January 14, 2025, the Federal Constitutional Court decided that the German Football League (DFL) had to pay for additional police costs for high -risk games. This could have an impact on the financial burden on the club structures and possibly also raise ticket prices, as specialistanwalt.de. So far, the DFL was of the opinion that the guarantee of public security was a state task, but the judgment marks a turning point for the financing of security measures in German professional football.
The definition of a high -risk game includes a number of factors, including rivalries between clubs and aggressive fan behavior. The game between the MSV Duisburg and Hansa Rostock obviously fulfills these criteria, which also justifies the extensive security precautions. The urban measures and the judgment of the Federal Constitutional Court lead a light on the challenges that both the security forces and the clubs have to master.
The spectators are therefore asked to adapt to an exciting but also challenging game. The police will be more present in the stadium environment and carry out people to keep everything under control. After all, this game should not only be a sporty highlight, but also run smoothly in terms of security for everyone involved. We can be excited to see how the situation develops and hope for peaceful coexistence in the stadium.
