🧨 Record fine for the club: DFB hits Frankfurt in the pocket | OneFootball

Pyrotechnics are not considered a crime, especially among Eintracht Frankfurt circles—at least not according to the opinion of some fans. Otherwise, they probably wouldn’t have produced images like these week after week, both at home and away stadiums, during the past season:

But now, the club is being made to pay up by the DFB sports tribunal—and in a big way!

Due to the "unsportsmanlike conduct" of its fans in ten incidents across eight Bundesliga matches, the court has handed SGE the highest fine in its club history—€489,100. However, €162,800 of that amount may be used for security or violence-prevention measures.

The most expensive incident for Eintracht was the home match against BVB. For 94 pyrotechnic devices in the Nordwestkurve, they have to pay €94,000.

It remains to be seen whether they will top this amount in the coming season.
