- Police say three youths under 15 were at the scene and report that one admitted to igniting an object near the stand.
- No criminal charges are expected because of the suspects’ ages, though civil claims against the youths or their guardians remain possible.
- FC Haka has launched a fan “Tribünen-Community” fundraising drive to support rebuilding while official damage estimates are still being determined.
