British media: Chaos is expected, Albanian and Polish hooligans have arrived in Germany

The British media in an article of theirs have expressed that they are afraid of the incidents and riots that may happen during the European championship in Germany.

The Express.uk newspaper  says that Albanian hooligans and neo-Nazis are planning to disrupt the "Euro 2024" tournament.

In messages on the Telegram application, the Albanian fan group "The Ilyrian Elite" claim to have traveled to Germany, despite not being allowed to buy tickets from their national association, and have distributed Nazi photo greetings.

On pro-hooligan channels, such as Hooligans.cz, which distributes videos of fan fights, expect this to be a summer of "violence". These chat groups are also populated by many far-right activists who also hope to use the tournament to promote their hateful ideologies.

Users from Poland and Germany are considered more dangerous by the British media. They responded to a post on Hooligans.cz about the start of the competition suggesting "Europeans unite and target Muslims in Berlin". Other users responded with images of Mussolini and Nazi SS logos.

Meanwhile, local fascists claimed they were "getting creative" to circumvent rules banning the printing of German national team jerseys that resemble Nazi SS insignia. They have shared images of a soccer jersey with "44 Adolfo" on it.

However, football fan culture experts such as Dr Stefan Lawrence, a senior lecturer in sports business management at Leeds Beckett University pointed out that the vast majority of fans are in Germany to support their teams without causing problems.

In addition to the threat of hooligan violence, German police have raised concerns that terrorists could target the championship as happened a few months ago, where a police officer was killed in the city of Mannheim. Ahead of the tournament, Germany's friendly with Ukraine was interrupted by a security threat that left fans locked in the stadium for about an hour after the match ended.
