Interior Minister: Stadium Bans Must Be Implemented More Consistently - Lower Saxony's Minister Proposes Tougher Stadium Ban Enforcement
Lower Saxony's interior minister, Daniela Behrens, has called for stricter enforcement of stadium bans in football. She proposes a central commission to oversee ban committees and criticizes inconsistent application of regulations. Despite controls, fireworks remain an issue in stadiums.
Behrens plans to discuss her proposals at the Conference of Interior Ministers in early December. She demands greater security efforts from clubs, including personalized tickets and stricter entry controls. Despite tightened controls, fireworks continue to be a problem in stadiums.
In the recent Lower Saxony derby between Hannover 96 and Eintracht Braunschweig, police reported a calmer atmosphere than previous years. However, Behrens believes more can be done to ensure safety. She plans to introduce measures such as more qualified security staff, investments in security technology, and a special net system in the guest fan area to prevent fireworks near me.
Behrens aims to improve safety at high-risk football matches. She will discuss her proposals with federal and state colleagues soon. Clubs are urged to enforce stricter social security regulations and security measures to prevent incidents.
