Police braced for 500 Serb hooligans to target England fans 

Police in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, are preparing for possible fan disorder, regarded as the “high-risk” match of Euro 2024, when England plays Serbia. Authorities anticipate approximately 500 Serbian hooligans, and predict a high potential for clashes due to factors including the large number of England fans expected, the late kick-off time, and historical tensions between the two countries. Gelsenkirchen’s police chief, Peter Both, assures interventions will take place if violent behaviour is observed during the match.
