[Saba Sports News] As the major leagues conclude their final matches this month, preparations for the 2024 European Championship in Germany are underway, set to begin in mid-June. According to the latest news from German media, it is expected that around 500,000 fans from England and Scotland will attend the entire European Championship schedule, raising concerns about safety. German authorities have devised a comprehensive plan and released a statement, emphasizing that “the significant number of these fans means that additional security resources will be deployed in cities hosting Scotland and England matches. While these fans are welcomed, their safety remains our top priority.” Local media predicts that approximately 40,000 England fans will attend England’s three group stage games, with many other ticket-less fans also present in the vicinity. The influx of fans without tickets may lead to significant security challenges.
