Since border crossing traffic became free and checks are only made inward at a certain distance from the actual border, the border has been 'perforated' by numerous (mostly bicycle) roads. Because of this border past, a local annual indoor soccer tournament of Eibergen's police has grown to the world's largest sportive event of its kind: the World Police Indoor Soccer Tournament is being held in October every year: more than 1.000 police officers from over 30 countries participate.
