We expressly point out that persons who are currently subject to an effective nationwide stadium ban are not allowed to stay in the entire area of the “Home Deluxe Arena”. This also applies to all designated parking spaces. In the event of non-compliance, the initiation of preliminary proceedings on suspicion of trespassing must be expected.
Racism and xenophobia
Together with all soccer fans and those responsible for security, we actively oppose all forms of racist and xenophobic crimes and activities. We will pursue them consistently.
We wish you a safe arrival and departure and a fair and exciting match.
Your
Paderborn District Police Department
