FC St. Pauli and Rot-Weiss Essen fan tensions
Overview
Tensions between FC St. Pauli and Rot-Weiss Essen supporters escalated during a DFB-Pokal match in Essen, driven by political friction between St. Pauli’s left-wing ultra group and Rot-Weiss Essen fans accused of far-right affiliations. Prior to the match, rumors of a planned confrontation between approximately 100 supporters from each side circulated, alongside reports of anti-St. Pauli graffiti appearing on a tram in Hamburg.
Following Rot-Weiss Essen’s 2-0 victory, the situation shifted from political rivalry to allegations of sexual discrimination. Reports indicated that a female employee of FC St. Pauli was subjected to verbal abuse and sexual discrimination by several men near the main stand for several minutes after the game. Rot-Weiss Essen has issued a public apology to the affected employee and FC St. Pauli, stating that such behavior has “no place at Rot-Weiss Essen,” and is currently investigating the incident to identify the perpetrators.
