Many people watch the European Championship games on television at home. Others prefer to watch the games with friends in public places or in the park. This is called public viewing.
Public viewing in the evening can be very noisy for the neighbors. The federal government still wants to allow public viewing, even after 10 p.m. Because the European Football Championship only lasts 4 weeks. She is in different cities in Germany.
The federal and state governments still have to agree to the exceptions to noise protection. There were also public viewings in the late evening at the European Championships in 2008 and 2016.
