Kickoff of the UEFA Champions League by Bayern Munich

The UEFA European Football Championship is set to take place from June 14 to July 14, 2024, and Munich will be one of the host cities, with six matches scheduled to take place in the city. In preparation for the tournament, the Technisches Hilfswerk (THW) Bayern will be extensively deployed, focusing their efforts in Munich, the state capital.

The THW, a federal operational organization run by volunteers, will play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth running of the tournament. Up to 200 THW personnel will be deployed at peak times, with approximately 20 local units from North and South Bavaria active on all match days.

The THW's tasks during the tournament will include bilateral aid, technical and logistical tasks within the European Union's disaster protection procedure, and tasks on behalf of UN organizations. They will also set up carrier teams in the Munich football arena to facilitate quick evacuation of injured persons, and have up to 70 ambulance vehicles with medical personnel on standby to quickly deploy to the stadium in case of an emergency.

In addition to their role in the 2024 UEFA European Football Championship, the THW's commitment can be seen at home and abroad, with their work in civil protection based on the commitment of around 88,000 volunteers nationwide.

Four THW specialist advisors from Bavaria and eleven members of the Virtual Operations Support Team (VOST) will support the International Police Coordination Center (IPCC) in North Rhine-Westphalia during the European Championship on a 24/7 basis.
