Euro football 2024, which begins on Friday in Germany, will be broadcast in many cities in Switzerland. Geneva will host the largest fanzone in the country. The police will tolerate post-match honking, but not “wild” behavior.
For those who cannot travel to Germany, there will be plenty of opportunities to share the football fever, according to an overview from Keystone-ATS.
Geneva will host a fanzone on the Plaine de Plainpalais with a capacity of 16,000 people and equipped with four giant screens. Managed by a private company, it will have its own order and medical-sanitary service.
The cantonal and municipal police have warned that processions will be tolerated for 60 minutes after the end of the matches. In cases of endangering oneself or others, for example when bodies are leaned out of car windows or flags are waved “wildly”, the police will intervene. Euro football or not, there will be no “bonus” in the event of drunk driving.
“Go easy with the horn after your favorite team wins.” This is the warning message from the Neuchâtel Police. Processions of cars and honking of horns will be tolerated for one hour after the matches. But police are already warning that serious traffic violations will be punished.
