Germany's top security official says the country will carry out border controls at all its frontiers during soccer’s European Championship in June and July
Germany will carry out border controls at all its frontiers during soccer's European Championship in June and July, the country's top security official told local media. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser told the daily Rheinische Post in comments published Tuesday that checks will be carried out at all German borders during the tournament “to be able to prevent possible violent criminals entering.” She added that “this is necessary to protect this major international event as best possible.
However, the decision to restore border checks during the soccer tournament had long been expected. It has become standard practice for countries in Europe's nominally ID check-free travel zone known as the Schengen area during big sports events and major summits. Germany already is carrying out checks on its eastern and southern borders with Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria and Switzerland as a result of concerns over migration.
