Unfortunately, such attacks on football fans are not an isolated case. They remind us of the importance of ensuring safety in the sports environment. In Germany, attacks have been repeatedly documented in recent years, which are often associated with a decrease in violent acts in football. So reported Sports show that the number of football fans recorded in the “Violent Sports Perpetrators” database had reached 5,416 at the end of 2022, the lowest level since its introduction. Although the numbers have increased slightly, they have fallen sharply by historical standards, with over 25% of the people recorded not being considered violent criminals.

The combination of these topics shows that a lot still needs to be done both in the quality areas of football and in road traffic to ensure safety and protection for everyone involved. Today's events make it clear: There is something going on and an sensitized society is needed to prevent such attacks and accidents.
