Union Berlin Fined €51,000 for Fan Pyrotechnics

The Bundesliga club faces its second penalty this month as fans' misconduct during an August match is sanctioned.

The German Football Association (DFB) fined Union Berlin €51,000 after fans used pyrotechnics during a match against FC St. Pauli in August.
This is the second financial penalty Union Berlin has received in November, following a €45,000 fine for similar incidents.
Up to €17,000 of the fine can be allocated to safety or violence prevention measures if the club provides proof of implementation by June 30, 2025.
The DFB's disciplinary action highlights ongoing concerns about fan behavior and the use of prohibited pyrotechnics in stadiums.
Union Berlin has not publicly commented on the fines or any plans to address fan misconduct moving forward.
