According to a report by Sportbible on June 11th (Beijing Time), German police have issued a warning that around 500 Serbian football hooligans are expected to attempt clashes with English fans during the European Championship matches.
In this edition of the tournament, favorites England are drawn in Group C alongside Denmark, Slovenia, and Serbia. England will face Serbia in their opening group match.
Approximately 40,000 English fans and between 5,000 to 8,000 Serbian supporters are anticipated to attend the game.
The large presence of fans from both sides has put the German police on high alert. The police chief in Gelsenkirchen, Peter Bos, hopes to intercept these hooligans before the match to prevent any disturbances and has designated the England-Serbia fixture as a high-risk encounter.
