Zeiss Jena's prestige comes with repercussions!
In the turbulent aftermath of a Regionalliga match between FC Carl Zeiss Jena and BSG Chemie Leipzig in November 2024, the city of Jena has taken decisive action to ensure security and peace at football matches. The search results do not contain any detailed information about the distribution of stadium bans among fan groups for FC Carl Zeiss Jena following the riots.
However, it is confirmed that multiple stadium bans were issued against FC Carl Zeiss Jena fans after the incidents. The city has issued a total of 61 stadium bans due to the actions of the fans, with the stadium grounds off-limits for those who have received bans. The bans prevent troublemakers from attending any home games of FC Carl Zeiss Jena for a year.
Prior to the match, around 350 FC Carl Zeiss Jena fans marched through the city and set off pyrotechnics, adding to the already tense atmosphere. The match itself was marked by severe riots, with police intervening forcefully, escalating the atmosphere. When the buffer gates were opened, fans clashed, causing injuries.
