Tournament director Philipp Lahm takes the criticism of the infrastructure at the European Football Championship from Germany and abroad seriously. "I think we have failed to work a little on the infrastructure as a whole as Germany in recent decades," said Lahm on Monday in Leipzig. At the same time, he promised improvement for the many fans: "We are in contact with Deutsche Bahn, they will continue to do everything they can to ensure that people really do get from A to B on time. But this is not a problem that is occurring now, during the tournament. They should have worked on it long beforehand," said the 40-year-old.

He himself had a bad experience when he didn't make it to the Düsseldorf stadium in time for the kick-off of the European Championship match between Ukraine and Slovakia (2:1). "Overall, I've been traveling by train for ten days now and I've been very, very punctual for most things. Of course I had a delay, which is certainly annoying and especially for fans who take long journeys, who spend money, a lot of money on it," said Lahm.
