After just the second preliminary round match, it was already done: the German team is in the round of 16 at the 2024 European Championship. This was also celebrated in Munich.
At the city’s largest public viewing in the fan zone in the Olympic Park, German flags flew over the fans’ heads.
As was the case at the opening match between Germany and Scotland, the fan zone, which can accommodate up to 25,000 people, was also closed for the match against Hungary due to overcrowding. This time, however, the European Championship match was not played in Munich, but in Stuttgart.
In summer fairytale weather, fans in the Olympic Park celebrated the German national team’s two goals. Many visitors wore white fan jerseys. But there was also a lot of pink to be seen. In keeping with this, the players also wore the popular pink away jersey on Wednesday.
The atmosphere was also good in other places in the city. For example, backstage…
… or in the beer gardens like here in the Löwenbräukeller, where the game was also followed with excitement.
The guests in the Stadium of Dreams in the Fat Cat, the temporary use of the Gasteig, also enjoyed a relaxed football evening with a 2-0 victory against Hungary…
… and in Café Cadu on Ludwigstrasse.
After the game, the party continued on Leopoldstrasse, where fans celebrated the German team’s victory with a car parade…
… in which cyclists and fans on e-scooters also took part.
