"⚽Welcome to Dortmund ⚽"
"WE" are around 3,700 employees of the Dortmund police force and, as a diverse, open-minded and citizen-oriented police force, are responsible for your safety and security at UEFA EURO 2024.
Together, we want to make UEFA EURO 2024 a unique experience and treat each other with mutual tolerance and respect. We have launched the campaign "FAIRPLAY + RESPECT" to build a bridge between all security partners, visitors to our city and everyone who lives in Dortmund. Help us during UEFA Euro 2024 to transfer this bridge from "FAIRPLAY + RESPECT" to the stadium, to every celebration and to everyday life.
Positive, open-minded communication at eye level is very important to us. We are always available for you everywhere, on social media or with specially trained and multilingual communication teams on site at public viewings or at the stadium. They are always available to you and look forward to talking to you.
In order to ensure you have a relaxed and pleasant stay in Dortmund and NRW, we have compiled important information here on the correct behavior in our city, on the way to the stadium and of course in the stadium.
How to contact the police and emergency services:
If you have been involved in a criminal offence, had a traffic accident or have another acute legal problem, please dial the police emergency number 🚔 110 🚔. For acute health problems, please dial 🚑 112 🚒.
Notes on pyrotechnics:
The carrying and burning of pyrotechnics of any kind (e.g. smoke pots, Bengalo / sea flares) is prohibited in Germany.
This ban applies not only in the stadium, but in all public spaces. A violation will inevitably lead to legal consequences and, as a rule, to a ban on entering the stadium. This would mean that, despite your arrival at the venue, you would not be able to support your team in the stadium due to your own misconduct.
Therefore, please refrain from setting off pyrotechnics anywhere in the city and in the stadium! You endanger yourself and bystanders!
How to get there:
Travel from the city center: For fans who are already in Dortmund's city center, we recommend taking the underground from the "Stadtgarten" stop on line U 46 to the "Westfalenhallen" stop. Your admission ticket entitles you to use the subway free of charge.
You can also simply follow the green carpet on foot from Dortmund city center to the immediate vicinity of the stadium.
Those arriving by train can take the subway line U 45 from Dortmund main station to the "Stadtgarten" stop and from there continue on the U 46 line to the "Westfalenhallen" stop.
Public viewing and fan zones:
Two event areas have been set up in the city area for the entire duration of the tournament by UEFA EURO 2024. With the character of a street festival, the Fan Zones offer gastronomic offerings and a changing program of events as well as the possibility of public viewing. The Fan Zones are located on Friedensplatz and in Westfalenpark.
