England and Serbia are set to kick off their Euro 2024 campaigns on Sunday night in Gelsenkirchen amidst fan violence that required the intervention of riot police. Both nations are expected to progress out of Group C, with England favored to make a deep run in the tournament. Despite the optimism among England supporters, there have been instances of anti-social behavior leading up to the match.
Prior to their opening game against England, Serbian fans have clashed with supporters of Albania, with reports suggesting that some English fans may have also been involved. Given the history of all three nations’ fans being involved in past tournament altercations, this recent incident has raised concerns.
Videos of the fighting between fans have surfaced, with reports indicating that Albanian fans initiated the conflict. Police have managed to diffuse the situation for now, but further details are expected to emerge. This kind of behavior is especially worrisome at a major tournament like Euro 2024.
As kick-off approaches in Gelsenkirchen, authorities will be on high alert to prevent any further incidents. It is crucial for all fans to maintain respect and ensure the safety of everyone involved in the tournament.
