Riot police intervened to stop violent clashes between fans before the Euro 2024 match between Serbia and England in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Social media footage showed fans throwing chairs and glasses outside a restaurant decorated with Serbian flags. Police arrived swiftly, detaining at least one individual. The incident left the street strewn with broken glass and overturned tables. Approximately 20,000 England fans and 10,000 from Serbia were expected for the match, classified as high risk due to potential fan violence. To mitigate risks, only low-alcohol beer was served at the stadium. No injuries were reported immediately.
