Fans Criticize Exclusion from Stadium Safety Talks

Ahead of a crucial meeting on October 18, fan groups express frustration over being sidelined in discussions about football stadium security.

Fan organizations have voiced their dissatisfaction with being excluded from the upcoming discussions on stadium safety.
The meeting in Munich will involve German political leaders and football associations but not fan representatives.
Fan groups argue that current safety measures portray fans unfairly as security risks, contrary to police statistics showing stadiums are generally safe.
Tensions have been rising due to recent incidents and calls for stricter penalties, which fans believe exacerbate the situation.
Fans are calling for a significant shift in how security authorities interact with them, urging a reduction in existing repressive measures.
