Thousands of Tartan Army fans trapped outside stadium amid chaos before Scotland’s Euro 2024 opener
THOUSANDS of Tartan Army fans are trapped outside the stadium just hours ahead of their clash with Germany.
The national side is due to face off against the host nation at the Allianz Arena in tonight’s Euros opener.
But the thousands of Scotland and Germany fans who travelled to see their teams play have been left in chaos.
Mass confusion has taken hold outside the stadium with no clear queues.
Fans have been given no direction as to what entrances to use as stewards struggle to provide any clear communication.
One steward was heard saying: “Sorry for the mess, it’s our first game.”
Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack was caught up in the chaos.
He posted a picture of the long queues on X/Twitter and slammed the lack of organisation.
He wrote: “EURO2024 the worst organization I’ve ever seen at a game.
“Been queuing for over an hour and still tens of thousands of people trying to get in.
“Where’s the German efficiency?!”
Travel chaos has also gripped the city‘s underground.
Transport to the city on the subway has been closed down, with fans now having to walk out of the main city to find transport.
Many are leaving the city and flagging down taxis to get to the game.
One train on the U6 route was packed with supporters when it broke down four stops away from the stadium.
Many footy fans opted to get off the trains and walk.
Peter Aitchison, 60, from Lochwinnoch, said: “We thought we were doing the right thing getting the U-Bahn early, but it broke down 4 stops from the stadium.
“It was absolutely mobbed, fans dripping of sweat and getting really agitated.
“Eventually after being stuck for 30 minutes, we joined hundreds of fans to get out and walk.
“It’s going to cause chaos for trains behind coming from the city… I wouldn’t be surprised if it delayed kick off.”
