According to Marca , Polish fans had to pay hundreds of euros to get tickets to watch the match between Austria and Poland. This clash took place at the Berlin Olympic Stadium, which has a capacity of 75,000 fans but there was not a single empty seat.
However, in the corner of the D stand of the Berlin Olympic Stadium, there are special fans. The highlight here is that they have to watch the match with a very large pillar in front of them. In this position, Polish fans can only watch the ball on the two sides while the center is almost completely hidden. More importantly, in the position closest to the pillar, fans sitting in this row have to look at the pillar throughout the entire match.
In front of the Polish fan is a huge pillar.
The tragicomic image was quickly posted by Polish fans and received millions of interactions. Marca described: “His name is Daniel, a young fan who had to save money, spending hundreds of euros to watch the match at the Berlin Olympics. Enjoying the match like that must have made this guy very upset. Going into the stadium just to see the pillar and hear the screams around, it was clearly very uncomfortable. Daniel tried to jump but how could he observe anything more?”
Meanwhile, the British newspaper The Guardian criticized the unreasonable seating arrangement of the Organizing Committee. “In a tournament of such magnitude as EURO 2024, the actions of the Organizing Committee are unacceptable. Fans from all over Europe spend a lot of money to watch football but they do not receive the best experience. Not only did this guy have a blocked view, the pillar was too big, making the people sitting in front and behind - in line with him - feel uncomfortable. Perhaps when choosing a ticket, this guy did not think he would fall into such a situation. Spending a lot of money to go to the stadium just to see the pillar, surely everyone will be upset.”
Soon after, a fan named Daniel also added: "160 euros for this place, I'm really angry. I'd rather spend the money to eat or hang out somewhere else than have an experience like this. This is an unforgettable experience and it's hard for me to come back to this place. The organizers didn't say anything to me about this afterwards. It's a shame."

But being out of sight and not being able to see the entire moment on the field probably made Daniel “lucky”. In this match, the team he cheered for, Poland, lost 1-3 to Austria. Not only did Poland lose their second consecutive match at EURO 2024, but they also became the first team to be eliminated from the tournament despite still having one match left to play.
