Overview
- The Olympiastadion will host about 75,000 spectators with an expected 25,000 to 30,000 Dynamo supporters, including many in home sections.
- The fixture is classified as high risk, with ten police units assigned to the stadium, Bundespolizei guarding rail hubs, and reinforcements from Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Baden-Württemberg.
- A further 200 officers will oversee Union Berlin vs. Freiburg as Berlin manages two sellouts and 25 registered demonstrations on the same day.
- Dynamo advised fans to adjust travel plans due to A13 roadworks and an A100 closure near the Funkturm, urging early arrivals and alternative routes via the A9.
- Tensions stem from an allocation of 11,000 official away tickets and recent provocative actions by parts of the Dynamo fan scene, while captain Niklas Hauptmann struck a matter-of-fact tone about the occasion.
