Hooligans vandalize bus to Salzburg-Sieg: Police intervene!

In Salzburg, a football match between Red Bull Salzburg and the Go Ahead Eagles from the Netherlands became the scene of violent riots. On Thursday, November 6th, 2025, the local team achieved a clear 2-0 win. Around 3,000 Dutch fans traveled to the city of Mozart to support their team. Before the game, the situation in the stadium remained calm and peaceful.

However, an unfortunate incident occurred after the final whistle. A small group of hooligans went into a violent frenzy and rioted on the bus that was supposed to transport the fans back. Passenger Michel G. described how the interior of the bus was vandalized. In addition, there was damage to the pressure valves on the doors, which meant that the bus was no longer ready to drive.

Police arrest rioters

The police were quickly on site to restore order. Several rioters were arrested after they were blamed for the damage and escalation. In order to prevent further incidents in Salzburg's city center, the police provided additional security.

These events once again shed light on the growing problem of fan riots in football, which are being observed in many countries. Those responsible are faced with the challenge of preventing such riots and ensuring the safety of all spectators. While the city's police were able to prevent the worst with their quick intervention, the question remains as to how such incidents can be dealt with permanently.
