The country's top security official said on Monday that German authorities have fewer security problems and crimes to deal with than they had anticipated during the European Championship.

The tournament ended on Sunday with Spain defeating England 2-1 in the final in Berlin, and there were no reports of serious disturbances. This capped off a month-long event that only witnessed mostly isolated and relatively minor incidents, in contrast to the violence seen in some previous tournaments.

The German Ministry of the Interior stated that around 2.6 million people attended the matches in the ten host cities, and another 6 million watched the games in designated fan zones.

It added that during the tournament, approximately 170 people were arrested, and 320 were temporarily detained. The police recorded about 2,340 offenses related to the tournament, including 700 for bodily harm and 120 for theft. There were around 140 cases relating to violence against police officers.

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said the country is "prepared for all conceivable risks from Islamic terrorism, from hooligan violence to cyber attacks and dangerous drone flights."

Faeser stated in a statement: "There were far fewer incidents and security violations than our security authorities had expected at an event involving millions of people. Above all, the extremely intense police presence across the country was crucial in this matter."

Germany introduced temporary border controls at all its borders during the UEFA Euro 2024 Championship, which has become a standard practice during such events in the Schengen Area's travel zone free of identity checks. These controls are set to last until Friday.

They will then be eased at the borders with Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg. However, the government orders border checks with France before and during the upcoming Olympic Games, and long-term checks will also be conducted at the eastern and southern borders with Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, and Switzerland, which have been driven by concerns over migration.
