Czech football fans heading for Germany warned to expect delays at border

Czech fans travelling to Germany for the European Football Championship have been warned to expect delays due to stricter border controls by German police on motorways, roads and trains. Germany was already carrying out border checks with the Czech Republic, Poland, Austria and Switzerland before the start of the championship. During the Euros, it will tighten them and introduce them along the entire length of its borders.

The tournament of 24 European teams kicks off in Munich on Friday, with games taking place in ten German cities, and the championship will conclude with the final match in Berlin on 14 July. The Czech national team will play Portugal in Leipzig on 18 June before moving on to Hamburg to play Georgia on 22 June and Turkey on 26 June.
