Fans' group make German authorities vow amid anger over tour 'exclusion'
Yorkshire Evening Post
|June 30, 2025
Leeds United Supporters Trust say they will contact German authorities to ascertain why fans have been told to stay away from pre-season games for the second summer running.
Last year Leeds had to hold their pre-season camp in secret, with games taking place behind closed doors and press coverage embargoed until after the full-time whistle.
The club vowed that 2025 would be a different story and say they had written assurances from the German FA and their tour operator that fans would be able to attend this summer. But in a Friday statement the club revealed another refusal to grant a permit for games to be played with spectators present.
It read: "Opponents and venues for fixtures were arranged earlier this year, and written assurances secured from both the German FA and our tour operator as well, given last summer we were asked at short notice by the police and local authorities not to bring supporters due to a resource strain following UEFA Euro 2024.
