Ultras attack in Osnabrück: Shock for red-white food!

Ultras attack in Osnabrück: Shock for red-white food!

After the exciting away game on December 15, 2024 against VfL Osnabrück, there was a tumulty incident: Masked Ultras von Rot-Weiss Essen stormed the interior of the stadium and went to the north grandstand, which led to a collision with the order service. The police quickly became aware and intervened to push the RWE fans back into the guest block. The Rot-Weiss Essen team reacted to the situation by promptly going into the cabin and did not say goodbye to the travelers who traveled with us. The game ended with an apparently disappointing 2-0 defeat for Essen in front of 15,158 spectators in the stadium on the Bremer Bridge, such as Fascination fankurve reported.

In addition, the game had special regulations for the guest fans. According to the information from Rot-Weiss Essen were already out of print all tickets for the guest area. The last instructions for the match day contained important information on arrival, parking and security requirements that the audience had to consider. The guest area was in the Dieckmann-West curve and fans had to arrive early because there was no box office. It was also pointed out that the take -off of backpacks and larger pockets was prohibited, which might contribute to a tense climate in the stadium.

The combination of the storm run of the ultras and the strict security requirements raises questions about the security and behavior of the fans, especially in such an emotionally charged environment. All of this happened, while VfL Osnabrück kept the upper hand and captured an important victory. In the heat of the game and the subsequent unrest it becomes clear how sports and emotions can often meet at dangerous intersections.
