A spokesman from the fire brigade explained the challenging process of dismantling part of the digital board to access and safely relocate the bees. The stadium’s technical staff lent crucial support during the operation.
For Germany, the timing was crucial as they aimed to build on their strong start in the tournament, having defeated Scotland 5-1.
A victory against Hungary would secure their spot in the next stage. In contrast, Hungary faced a setback with a 3-1 loss to Switzerland earlier in the competition.
The incident served as a reminder of nature’s unpredictable presence in sporting events, adding a unique twist to the preparations and excitement surrounding the ongoing tournament.
