Dramatic derby in Halle: fans face heated clashes!

On October 5, 2024, an exciting derby between Halle FC and FC Carl Zeiss Jena occurred in the Leuna-Chemie Stadium. The game was visited by a large number of fans of both camps, some of which provided mood with pyrotechnic products. Such fireworks are prohibited in many stadiums, but in the football scene it is part of the expression of passion. Fortunately, there were no injuries during the game, which made the event more secure overall.

The journey to this sporting event went through the city of Halle without any noteworthy incidents, which is positive news for the organizers and the police. After the final whistle, however, a tense situation developed: when the guest fans returned to the main train station along Merseburger Strasse, there were several conflicts with the supporters of the home team. A total of three disputes were counted, which were quickly brought under control by around 400 stationed police officers.

The police intervened in each of these incidents and was able to prevent the worst by acting quickly. It is worth noting that, despite the intensive confrontations, none of those involved had to be treated medically. This shows that the speed and efficiency of the police forces were decisive to calm the situation.

The emergency services, supported by the riot police in Saxony-Anhalt and the state police in Saxony, were busy separating the drifting fan camps and creating order. Investigations into assault were initiated, but there were no arrests, which indicates that the situation could be controlled and more severe riots were avoided.

The Halle Police Inspection (Saale) made it clear that no injured officials were to be complained about, which is a central aspect, especially in such exciting and potentially explosive situations. The professionalism of the police forces helped prevent a larger chaos and bring fans safely home.

While the emotions in the football scene often cook up, it is important to point out the positive aspects and success of the security forces. Despite the turbulent follow -up phase, the derby was largely peaceful, which is ultimately important for everyone involved.
