💨 Abstract

The German Constitutional Court has ruled that soccer clubs must contribute to increased policing costs during high-risk matches, ending a decade-long dispute over financial responsibility. The court upheld a 2014 Bremen law requiring clubs to pay for additional police deployment at games that could lead to potential crowd trouble. This is the first time a federal state has introduced such payments for major events with more than 5,000 spectators.
