Overview

• The DFB has apologised for prolonged queues at the south gate and will personally respond to every fan complaint received.
• In its updated analysis the federation identified misdirected crowds, weak diversion notices, technical ticket‐scanning failures and understaffed turnstiles as key contributors.
• Arminia Bielefeld called the entry failures "in no way acceptable" and is assisting the DFB by collecting eyewitness accounts.
• Berlin’s Senate administration has launched its own probe and stressed that the DFB, as event organiser, is responsible for the security planning.
• While Arminia supporters faced hours-long waits at the south and marathon gates, VfB Stuttgart fans entered smoothly through the east gate during the sold-out match.
