Overview

  • The DFB Sportgericht imposed new fines of €128,800 on 1. FC Kaiserslautern, €11,100 on SC Paderborn and €20,000 on FC Bayern Munich for fan-related offences.
  • Kaiserslautern’s penalty covers four pyrotechnic incidents this season, with about one-third of the sum eligible for safety and violence-prevention measures upon documented implementation.
  • Paderborn’s latest €11,100 fine brings its total season-long penalties to €111,900, marking an all-time high for the club, prompting officials to ask supporters to help identify violators.
  • Bayern Munich was sanctioned for an unsporting banner referencing the police shooting of Lorenz A., with the DFB ruling the display a provocation warranting the €20,000 penalty.
  • All penalized clubs must submit proof by December 31 to demonstrate how permitted portions of their fines will be reinvested into approved security upgrades and violence-prevention programs.
