Overview
- In Dortmund, a BVB home match against Bayern, an Arena Rave at Westfalenhalle, and indoor athletics at Helmut‑Körnig‑Halle raised fears of severe congestion on Saturday.
- Local buses and trams were stopped by a ver.di warning strike, while regional trains and S‑Bahn services continued and were promoted for stadium access via RB53 to Signal Iduna Park and S‑Bahn to Möllerbrücke.
- City guidance required prebooked parking with no on‑site sales and maintained routine closures such as Strobelallee to manage pedestrian flows around the stadium.
- By late afternoon, Dortmund police and organizers reported orderly arrivals, the fan march from Alter Markt stepped off around 15:30, and visiting Bayern ultras reached the area under police escort without major disruption.
- In Bremen, the BSAG stoppage left buses and trams out of service through Monday 03:00, yet police described traffic near the Weserstadion as normal as fans walked from the main station or used carpools, with regional trains and out‑of‑state bus lines still running.
