The high-risk match between FC Hansa Rostock and Dynamo Dresden will be a major challenge for the police this Saturday. This is because not only an AfD rally plus counter-demonstration will take place in Rostock city center on the day before the Bundestag elections parallel to the explosive eastern duel in the 3rd soccer league. Due to overhead line work, Rostock's main station will also not be served by several train lines on Saturday.
In concrete terms, this means that The approximately 2800 Dresden fans will largely arrive in cars and buses and will therefore not arrive in the orderly and predictable manner that the police are used to at such matches. These are all "difficult conditions" for the emergency services, said Rostock police chief Achim Segebarth to the "Ostsee"-Zeitung.
