Safe celebration or chaos: Police master football hit in the Carl-Benz Stadium!

Carl-Benz-Stadion, 68169 Mannheim, Deutschland - On May 10, 2025, the Carl-Benz Stadium was a setting for tensions and cheers! Around 23,000 spectators, including over 3,500 heated guest fans from Dresden, were waiting for the gripping duel between SV Waldhof Mannheim and SG Dynamo Dresden in the 3. Bundesliga. The police were prepared for everything and had ensured security with a strong presence of around 700 officials, including other federal states.

Shortly before the final whistle, the location escalated: supporters of both teams tried to climb the grids and get to the field. But fast intervention troops from folders and police prevent worse. After the final whistle, the fans stormed the field, inflamed pyrotechnics and celebrated the rise of their team, while the law enforcement officers could just prevent a mass brawl between the opposing fan groups. After the game, toilet facilities were deliberately damaged in the guest area, and there were again violent clashes that could be kept under control thanks to the determined intervention of the police.
