FC St. Pauli stands with LGBTQI+ community after Berlin CSD attack FC St. Pauli has reaffirmed its solidarity with the LGBTQI+ community following the attack on Berlin's Christopher Street Day (CSD). The Bundesliga side, which finished 18th last season with 26 points, called for unity at Hamburg's upcoming CSD event.

What happened? The Berlin CSD was abruptly ended on Saturday night after a van plowed into a crowd in what is believed to be an Islamist-motivated attack. At least one woman was killed, and several others were injured. FC St. Pauli condemned the attack and expressed sympathy for the victims.

Why is this important for FC St. Pauli? The club has a long history of supporting LGBTQI+ rights and has been a regular participant in Hamburg's CSD with its own float. Players and officials emphasized that hatred against queer people is a real threat and that it is now more important than ever to stand together.

What's next? FC St. Pauli will participate in Hamburg's CSD this coming Saturday with its own float. The club encourages all fans to show their support-whether with rainbow, skull, or Progress Pride flags. Their next match is scheduled for February 6, 2027, against 1. FC Kaiserslautern.
