The ignorant rub their eyes in amazement. On Monday night there will be many fireworks in the Basel night sky over St. Jakob-Park. What is happening there?
Police receive the first report at 8:20 pm When officers arrive at the stadium, only a few empty fireworks batteries remain on the event platform in Joggeli. People are no longer found.
A lot already happened in the stadium last Saturday. Thousands of FCB supporters gather and protest against the club’s coach, Bernhard Burgener. The recent whirlwind is probably related to this fact: the Joggeli is celebrating its 20th birthday.
Police tell BLICK that they are very familiar with the fan protests and Joggeli’s anniversary. However, he was unable to confirm a connection to the fireworks.

Many historical moments at the Joggeli
Construction will begin on December 13, 1998. There are 36,000 spectators. The football temple created by the architects “Herzog & de Meuron” was kicked for the first time on March 15, 2001: FCB and Lausanne split 0-0 at that time.
Since then, numerous historic sporting moments have taken place on the lawns of St. Jakob-Park. For example, there are the magical nights of Bebbi in the Champions League.
The Swiss soccer team, for example, are playing all three of their group stage matches on the occasion of the Euro Cup at home in 2008 here. Of course, the rain battle against Turkey (1: 2) will not be forgotten.
Joggeli are also the host of the 2016 Europa League final, which Sevilla win against Liverpool.
The shame of Basel and numerous titles
St. Jakob-Park unwittingly made the headlines in 2006, when FCB played the championship against FC Zurich in the 93rd minute and then there were violent riots: the shame of Basel!
Club vom Rheinknie celebrated its first Swiss championship title at the Joggeli in 2002 after 22 years of waiting. Another eleven have been added to this day. (bark / NL)
