What took place today at the Olympiastadion in Berlin was far more than just another league fixture, it was a raw display of ultra culture at its most intense. Everyone knew this clash between Hertha BSC and Dynamo Dresden carried that extra spark, and it didn’t disappoint.
From the first moments, the stadium was electric. The Hertha end turned into a sea of blue and white flags, drums echoing under the roof, chants pounding through the cold Berlin air. Across the divide, Dynamo’s traveling army, around 25,000 strong made their presence impossible to ignore. Their yellow-and-black waves, their pyros, their relentless noise, it all fed into a pressure cooker of emotion.
This fixture had been labeled “high risk” for weeks, and for good reason. Police and security forces were everywhere, trying to keep rival groups apart. But as kickoff approached, tension spilled over. Clashes broke out in several sections of the stadium, with provocation, objects thrown, and running confrontations breaking out before the match even settled in.
It wasn’t unexpected, when Hertha and Dresden meet, sparks are part of the ritual. Tonight was no different.
For those who live the ultra-lifestyle, this was one of those days that defines a season. It had everything identity, defiance, noise, color, and chaos. Berlin vs Dresden, city vs tradition, pride vs pride.
For all who were there: you didn’t just watch a match — you felt it.
The stands were alive. The atmosphere was unreal.
And now, as the dust settles, it’s time to relive it through the photos and scenes that captured it all.
This is football culture in its rawest form. This is what we live for.
Now simply enjoy the photos of this amazing match:
