Euro Championships - Fan mile devoid of Palestinian and Israeli flags
At the European Championship (EM) fan zones situated at the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag in Berlin, it's against the rules to bring along Palestinian or Israeli flags, according to the event's coordinators. Instead, you're allowed to carry flags of the nations participating in the European Championship, as a cultural representative of the global event, a spokesperson from Kulturprojekte GmbH explained on a Monday interview. The "Berliner Morgenpost" had initially reported on this policy.
As of the commencement of the European Championship on Friday, all 51 EM matches will be streamed on large screens in the compact fan zone located before the Reichstag. The primary stage in front of the Brandenburg Gate will display 14 or 15 games: the three group stage matchups for Germany, the three group stage encounters, the Berlin round of 16 matchup (possibly an additional round of 16 match with German involvement), and the seven matches from the quarterfinals through the final on July 14 in Berlin. The Brandenburg Gate's fan mile is scheduled for a grand opening with live concerts on Wednesday.
