Fighting erupted between fans of Turkey and Georgia at Dortmund's Westfalenstadion ahead of their European Championship match on Tuesday. The altercation occurred at ground level in one corner of the stadium, where supporters were observed exchanging punches and hurling objects at each other while security personnel tried to intervene amidst heavy rain.
The skirmish was quelled when riot police officers stepped in to separate the warring factions. A strong police presence was maintained, with officers positioned in the stairwell alongside Georgia fans. The two nations, both competing in Group F of Euro 2024, share a border spanning approximately 270 kilometers (170 miles).
