Germany is ramping up security measures for the upcoming European Football Championship, addressing threats ranging from terrorism to cyberattacks.
Interior Minister Nancy Faeser emphasized that security is a “top priority” as the country prepares to host Euro 2024. Speaking at a press conference, she highlighted the need to be ready for “all conceivable dangers,” including terrorism, hooliganism, and cyber threats.
Faeser assured that cooperation between federal and state authorities is “going very well” and that a strong police presence will be in place wherever large crowds gather.
“This will be a major effort for state and federal police forces, but it is crucial for the success of the tournament,” she said.
