Police have cancelled the friendly between Germany and Holland after the stadium in Hanover was evacuated on Tuesday when a suspicious object was found inside.
An announcement by police informed spectators about an hour and a half before kickoff on Tuesday, a statement later said fans should leave “quickly , but should go without panic back home. Please go in small groups back home, it’s better this way.”
An Associated Press reporter was not let into the HDI-Arena about two and a half hours before the kick-off. Fans were also held back. Police spokesperson Stephanie Weiss said a suspicious object was found at the stadium.
Police later opened the doors and fans started coming in, however the stadium was then evacuated and the game called off.
