Munich Prepares for a Football Frenzy: EM-Game Between Romania and Netherlands Leads to Street Closures and Traffic Disruptions

Today in Munich: Roadblocks impeding Oranje Fan Walk

The city of Munich is preparing for a busy day due to the upcoming EM-Game between Romania and Netherlands. Fans are planning a fan march starting at 11 am in the Olympic Park, which will result in several street closures along the planned route.

The Munich fire department has shared details stating that the fan march will gather at the Olympic Stadium to set off at 12 noon. The procession will begin at the Olympic Ice Stadium and proceed through Lerchenauer Strasse, then continue along Schleißheimer Straße towards the city center. The route includes Ackermannbogen and Spiridon-Louis-Ring, with expected disruptions in traffic from 12 noon to about 1 p.m.

The Munich Transport Company (MVG) anticipates an increased influx of football fans towards the Olympic Park and the match venue at Fröttmaninger Arena during this time. Following the fan march, a joint stage program and celebration with Dutch and Romanian fans will take place in the Fan Zone from 1 p.m. Bus shuttles are available from 2:30 p.m., providing relief from public transport pressure for ticket holders to reach their destination on time.

As a result of these activities, many Oranje fans are also expected to join football festivities in Marienplatz and Viktualienmarkt throughout the day. There will be a heavy police presence in Munich, with up to 2,000 officers deployed on European Championship match days to ensure public safety during this exciting event.
