Overview
- About 75,000 spectators are expected, with an estimated 25,000 Dynamo fans dispersed beyond the official away section.
- Hertha allocated roughly 11,046 guest tickets, refused to expand the away block, and will bar visibly identifiable Dynamo supporters from home seating.
- Berlin police classify the fixture as high risk and are deploying at least ten Hundertschaften under a special command structure.
- Authorities have identified roughly 500 to 800 Dynamo supporters as potential troublemakers, according to internal assessments reported by local media.
- Dynamo CEO Stephan Zimmermann criticized Hertha’s planning and lack of coordination, as the match coincides with Union–Freiburg, a large demonstration, and traffic works on the A13 and A100.
