Overview
- The Hannover police have limited the number of Eintracht Braunschweig fans attending the upcoming derby to 2,541, citing safety concerns.
- This restriction reduces the guest fan allocation to 60% of the designated seating capacity in the away section of the stadium.
- The decision follows past incidents of violence and property damage during previous matches between the two rival teams.
- Niedersachsen's Interior Minister Daniela Behrens has supported the measure, calling it appropriate given the history of disturbances at these derbies.
- The exact date of the March match will be confirmed later this week by the Deutsche Fußball Liga.
