Soccer - GdP state chairman: Expansion of video technology in stadiums
In view of recent riots at soccer matches, the police union in Lower Saxony (GdP) is calling for more video technology in stadiums. The GdP state chairman Kevin Komolka told the "Braunschweiger-Zeitung" (Wednesday) that clubs should be held more accountable, especially when it comes to the expansion of video and entry technology. Komolka also called for more training for security staff in the stadium.
"The stadium is an event space for which the club is responsible and not the police. I would therefore like to see this responsibility for matchday procedures transferred to the clubs," said Komolka. The regional chairman sees smaller ultra blocks or alcohol bans as an option.
During the Lower Saxony derby between second-division soccer clubs Hannover 96 and Eintracht Braunschweig at the beginning of November, a police officer was seriously injured in a scuffle in the home area. More than 2000 police officers were present at the derby. Lower Saxony's Interior Minister Daniela Behrens (SPD) wants to talk to representatives of both clubs about violence in soccer on Wednesday.
