July 4 – Frankfurt police are investigating a video that appears to show a fan being punched and kicked while being detained by a group of Euro 2024 security personnel at Portugal’s game with Slovenia.
UEFA confirmed it was “aware of an incident which took place between stewards and a fan from the Portugal vs. Slovenia match and condemns any violent behaviour.”
“The incident in the video is now the subject of a police investigation. UEFA is not in a position to comment further until the investigation has been completed.”
The video, which was published Tuesday in Portuguese media, purports to show a group of tournament security staff detaining two people at Monday’s game in Frankfurt.
“We are aware of this and are already investigating,” the Frankfurt police posted on X.
Football Supporters Europe said in a statement: “Anyone found to be responsible has no place in a stadium and must be held to account for their actions.”
