UEFA has issued penalties against four Bundesliga clubs. BVB is even threatened with a partial exclusion from viewers.
UEFA has imposed new penalties on clubs. While Borussia Dortmund has to accept a partial exclusion from spectators, there is also trouble for other Bundesliga clubs.
Four clubs from the Bundesliga received new penalties from UEFA on Tuesday.
BVB was hit the hardest. At a game, a spectator partial exclusion must take place, which corresponds to 6,000 seats (via transfer market). There is a fine of 40,000 euros. The background is the home game against FC Copenhagen. While pyrotechnics were being burned off in the Dortmund block, flares were also fired at Borussia from the away block.
This also applies to fans from Denmark, but BVB as the organizer is required not to let such souvenirs into the stadium in the first place due to the controls that are responsible for them.
However, the partial exclusion penalty for the Bundesliga team is suspended for two years. Means: If there are new offenses, it becomes active. Copenhagen have to pay 45,000 euros and are not allowed to sell away tickets for an international game. This sentence is suspended for one year.
Another fine for black and yellow: Another 5,000 euros have to be paid due to other incidents in the game against Manchester City.
Other penalties for German clubs: Bayer Leverkusen has to pay 66,250 euros because of fan riots. 29,625 euros fall for Eintracht Frankfurt due to spent pyrotechnics. Of the FC Bayern has to pay 20,500 euros for the same reason.
