Germany reports 1,446 injuries at football matches
According to the latest annual report from the Central Information Office for Sports Operations (ZIS), 1,446 people were injured in connection with football matches across Germany's top four leagues during the past season. This figure represents a slight decrease from the 1,501 injuries recorded in the previous season.
The reported injuries include 195 police officers and approximately 800 bystanders. Notably, 29 percent of all injuries occurred during just 35 specific matches characterized by significant rioting. Additionally, more than 120 injuries were attributed to the use of pyrotechnics.
The ZIS, based with the police in North Rhine-Westphalia, analyzed data from 2,681 matches, including the three Bundesliga divisions, the Regionalliga, DFB-Pokal games, and international fixtures. While injuries decreased, the total number of recorded criminal offenses rose to 7,668 cases, up from 7,054 in the prior year. Common offenses include assault, resistance, attacks on police officers, breach of the peace, and property damage.
