SC Freiburg look forward to welcoming a diverse, vocal support from the stands and follow the regulations set forth under Annex 9 of the DFB’s Guidelines for Improving Security at Domestic Matches.

On matchdays, the following fan items are permitted to be brought into our stadium:

• Small flags with PVC poles no longer than 2.0 metres;
• Flags on telescopic poles from 2.0 metres in length;
• Drums (fully see-through or see-through on one side) including one pair of drum sticks per drum;
• Megaphones (including 1 set of spare batteries);
• Two-sticks with PVC poles no longer than 2.0 metres;
• Fan club and fence banners: Flags are permitted to be hung on the fence in front of the stands, provided there is sufficient space. The quickest and easiest location to attach a banner is from the standing sections. Advertising boards must remain uncovered. The emergency exit gates must also be kept free during the match. A suspension system of approximately 13 meters is available to help hoist banners in the away end, with an SC-provided steward on hand to assist. Banners and fence flags are prohibited in the upper tiers of the stadium.

Please note: Security checks for fans bringing in any of the above items will take place in a separate, visible area near the entrance gates.

Please note that we can only accept a limited number of items, backpacks, bags and similar objects at our bag drop locations at the Europa-Park Stadion due to space constraints. We ask that all visitors leave prohibited items either at home or in their vehicles in order to prevent long waiting times at the security checkpoints.

In particular, we would like to highlight that no large backpacks or bags are allowed to be taken into the stadium. Bags must be no larger than DIN A3 format. Bag drops are located at all entrance points and are signposted (€2 fee). SC Freiburg does not assume responsibility for any items left at these locations.

During matchdays, visitors can reach out to our fan support team (contact details above right), members of our security staff, the police or the German Red Cross (DRK) for assistance.

Unfortunately, discrimination, sexism and sexual violence continue to be an issue within our society, and in football. As a club, we want to take even more concrete action against discriminatory and unacceptable attacks on matchdays and offer victims our immediate assistance.

On matchdays at the Europa-Park Stadion, our fan support team, security staff, the police and German Red Cross (DRK) are available to provide assistance to those in need. SC Freiburg’s fan support team is on hand to respond to urgent cases on matchdays (in person, via text, WhatsApp or phone call):

Additionally, SC Freiburg work together with “Frauenhorizonte,” a specialised counselling centre against sexual violence. Any fan who experiences sexual violence during a matchday can contact the round-the-clock help line provided by Frauenhorizonte, including evenings, weekends and holidays, by calling the following number: (0761) 285 85 85). During office hours, you will be able to reach a full-time employee of the counselling centre (Monday to Thursday: 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. / Friday: 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. / Calls made during evenings and on weekends will be forwarded to a cell phone number for assistance).

The centre’s on-call help line is staffed by social workers and psychologists who have received professional training in counselling people who have experienced trauma. If you are not yet sure which steps you would like to take, Frauenhorizonte will provide you with all the necessary information either via a phone call or during a private counselling session.

German Red Cross (DRK) staff are on duty at several mobile locations around the stadium. Signposts within the stadium perimeter will help guide visitors to the nearest DRK location. Additionally, the stewards in the stands will be happy to provide assistance to anyone in need.

Items found within the stadium grounds can be given to any stewards on duty. Should you lose an item during your visit, please contact us via email (fundbuero@scfreiburg.com). Please include your phone number in the e-mail so that we are able to get in touch with you.
