Overview
- Italy’s Interior Ministry will temporarily suspend Schengen provisions and conduct spot checks on the Germany–Italy border on 3–4 November.
- The Napoli vs. Eintracht Frankfurt Champions League game on 4 November will be played without away supporters by order of the Prefect of Naples.
- Eintracht board member Philipp Reschke said the plan was flagged at a mid‑September meeting in Rome, and UEFA has been informed.
- The measures form part of a coordinated public‑order strategy treating the tie as a high‑risk event after past unrest.
- Similar targeted controls were used recently before Ajax’s trip to Marseille on 30 September, reflecting a growing European precedent.
