Brussels forbids TV screens World Cup Red Devils

brussels - Belgian football fans can not follow the performances of their Red Devils at the World Cup in Russia this summer on big TV screens in the center of Brussels. For security reasons, the city council forbids fencing in public places such as the Grote Markt and also cafes may only turn on within the TV.

According to a spokesperson, there are too many nationalities in the Belgian capital, so that every game attracts many people to the city center. That is too heavy a burden for the police. 'To avoid discussion', no exception is made for the Belgian national team that will play its first match on June 18 against Panama.

The fully packed places would also pose a terror risk. During the European Championships in 2016, three months after the attacks in Brussels, the police picked up three men who, according to her, were about to make as many victims as possible in the European Championship near the North Station. A hundred Red Devils supporters were there to follow the match Belgium-Ireland on a big screen.
