The international friendly between Germany and the Netherlands in Hanover has been canceled over security concerns, German police have confirmed. A suspicious object had been found before the game.
Less than two hours before kick-off in the international match between Germany and the Netherlands in Hanover, the fixture has been canceled by German police.
Police confirmed that an object had been found in the stadium, forcing all personel to be evacuated immediately.
Earlier in the evening a "suspicious object" had been discovered by police forces around the stadium. Road blocks were set-up and no fans were allowed to enter the area surrounding the HDI-Arena. However, police did eventually open the roads, allowing journalists and fans to enter the stadium.
The German national team was en-route to the stadium at the time of the evacuating, but Jens Grittner, the German FA press officer, has since confirmed that the team has been taken to a safe location.
DW's Sarah Wiertz, in Hanover, has confirmed that there was no panic shown by fans who left the stadium. Almost all pedestrians have evacuated the area, but journalists currently remain in a safe area around the stadium.
The 14,000 capacity TUI-Arena, which was hosting German pop band Sähne Mannheims, has also been evacuated, according to various reports.

Police said that the game between the German and the Dutch national teams was cancelled due to a bomb threat at the stadium.
A “specific threat†prompted the evacuations according to German BILD, citing police sources. Security services have received information about a potential terrorist attack “that should be taken seriously,†according to dpa, a German news agency.
Spectators that had already taken their places in the stands were asked to leave the stadium via loudspeakers. The stadium is cordoned off by police.
Police have reportedly found an ambulance car “full of explosives†outside the Hannover stadium, according to a local newspaper, citing police sources. There have been no official confirmation of that.
The good citizens of Hannover should focus on the threat of ‘climate change’ not 8th century radical Islamic murdering heathens.
Exactly! Listen to Bernie Sanders...he is the smart one! /s
Sports is un-Islamic. As is flying a kite (Why? I have no fracking clue).
Here’s Jihadi!
I’ve read the truck bomb thing; but when one goes to the article, there is no mention. Maybe the stories have been edited because this happened at another source as well.-
This is real devious if a bomb was disguised as an ambulance, geez. We need to know this.
One hit on the Superbowl and the Mideast would be a glass parking lot!! And military on our southern border...all in 24 hrs!
Has John Kerry explained how it’s the ‘fault’ of Germany?
Nah. The US wouldn’t do anything. Barky wouldn’t lift a finger to retaliate.
A hit on the SB might liven that dull sport up.
Scairy..but you may be absolutely right.
