Another incident was also reported that fans where seen hurling chairs at one another that same day, just few hours into the England vs. Serbia game.
Turkey and Georgia fans clash
The latest episode of Euro 2024 violence occured before the kickoff of the game between Turkey and Georgia, with both set of fans going heavily it each other under heavy downpour, bringing memories of Old Trafford’s leaking roof.

At almost the same moment, fighting between the two groups of supporters broke out inside the stadium.
Fighting allegedly broke out as objects were hurled between two areas.
Journalist Daniel Storey called the situation “absolute bedlam” and expressed concern that the game would be canceled.
There was a small group of both sides’ supporters who were shoving and trading blows.
After more than an hour, riot police were able to regain control of the situation before kickoff.
At first, there were worries that the game might not start on schedule, but those worries were quickly allayed.
