European Championship fan zone in Berlin’s government district cleared
Before the first European Championship match in Berlin's government district, the fan zone was briefly cleared on Friday afternoon. This was due to a rucksack that appeared suspicious but turned out to be harmless.
"A suspicious object was found in the entrance area to the fan zone on Scheidemannstraße. This area is currently not available to fans," wrote the Berlin police on Platform X on Friday afternoon.
The police checked the object. According to Bild, a man was arrested who is said to have left a rucksack. This - or rather its contents - turned out to be harmless.

Three entrances closed, one still open
The perimeter was around 200 meters wide. Three entrances were closed, one remained open.
It was initially unclear how many people had to leave the area. "If there is nothing in the end, it was better to have cleared too much than too little," commented Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser in Munich in the evening.
The European Championship opens this evening (9pm) in the Munich Arena with the match between Germany and Scotland. This was one of the reasons why the fan zone at the Olympic Stadium was so crowded. It was "closed" three hours before kick-off, meaning that no further entry was possible.
