The Last Game of the East Germany National Football Team

On September 12, 1990, the last ever game of the GDR national team was played. Initially scheduled as part of the qualifying campaign for the 1992 European Championship, the GDR played Belgium in Brussels. But, with the reunifcation nearing on the horizon (3 October 1990), meaning the merging of the East German football team with the West German team, the game was transformed to a friendly instead. Emotions were running high before kickoff, with the players and fans alike sensing the historical significance of this encounter. The GDR won the game 2:0 after a late brace of star player and GDR football legend Matthias Sammer, who, at this point, had already joined West German top club VfB Stuttgart.

Amazingly this match wasn’t all ticket and 120,273 officially saw it.

The picture below, shows the Mount Florida (traditional Rangers End) with massive queues with the match in progress. The gates didn’t close until approximately half way through the first half!

Amazing photos of the crowds outside the turnstile. I've seen similar before, but not with such a huge crowd outside, nor did I know the game was actually in play , incredible! 👍
