The Champions League final in London on Saturday. Dortmund – real Madridhopes to be a model for organisation rather than a repeat of the events of the Euro 2020 final, England v Italy or the 2022 Paris sprint. “We have been planning everything in detail for 18 months,” said the event director at Wembley.

Authorities in the British capital have announced that very strict security conditions will be in place for the 69th final of the UEFA Champions League between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid.

The London government has allocated £5 million (about €6 million) to enable the big game to take place without major incidents. Just like the European Cup final held at Wembley three years ago, the England national team lost to Italy on penalties.

Subsequently, 2,000 fans managed to enter Wembley Stadium without tickets, and another 6,000 fans forced their way through the stadium gates, clashing with marshals and causing chaos around the legendary stadium.

Around 2,500 staff, some equipped with cameras, will now be mobilised and two control points will be set up for all ticketed supporters in addition to one at the entrance to each area of the stands.

There will also be a so-called “X Zone” where all entry and exit points and all events outside Wembley will be monitored and every ticket will be digitally scanned to avoid entry with counterfeit tickets.

This safety plan has been 18 months in the making!

“We want this final to be as successful as possible in every way, particularly for the fans and the event itself, but we know a lot of people will be thinking about what the Euro 2020 final would have been like. We are in a very good place from an organisational point of view and we have been planning everything in detail for 18 months,” said Wembley’s event director.

Thousands of Liverpool fans lined up in front of the gate

UEFA has already welcomed two big name ‘buoys’ after the last two Champions League finals in Paris and Istanbul. There has been a lot of criticism about the way the events were organised.

Especially at the Stade de France in 2022, thousands of Liverpool fans crowded the stadium gates, panicking because they could not get to their seats in time.

The final started 30 minutes later!

Dozens of supporters climbed the entrance gates and jumped over the turnstiles as long queues formed at the entrance, and the French security forces were overwhelmed by these events. This fact led to a 30-minute delay in the start time of the match, an unprecedented situation in the history of the CCE/League finals.

UEFA compensates affected fans

EuroForum was sued by fans who suffered physical and mental distress as a result of this serious incident and was awarded compensation (the amount is confidential).

“The fans accepted UEFA’s proposal and were delighted with the ‘comprehensive final agreement’, even though the continental forum never formally admitted fault,” British media wrote at the time. Bingham Long represented them at the trial.
