Police Respond to Brawls at Amateur Football Events in Austria and Germany

Authorities have opened investigations after injuries at both sites, with one veterans' tournament terminated by referees.

Overview

  • In Reutte, Tyrol, a foul during a match between a Bavarian side and the home team triggered tumults on the court and in the stands.
  • The visiting team withdrew to the locker rooms, where fresh fights broke out; two people were injured, including one with a fractured nasal bone.
  • Police escorted the German players to their vehicles as provocations continued, and the seriously injured person was taken to Reutte hospital, with charges pending the investigation.
  • In Fröndenberg an der Ruhr, referees issued multiple red cards and ended the Alte-Herren city tournament after a player repeatedly kicked a grounded opponent.
  • Police reported two people needing medical treatment there, including a 27-year-old punched in the face, and local reporting cited thrown objects and a bottle that injured a 41-year-old spectator.
