🚨 After incidents against Barça, Uefa announce punishment for Frankfurt | OneFootball

UEFA has issued a verdict that hits Eintracht Frankfurt hard: SGE must play its next international away match without any traveling fans. The penalty applies to the match on January 21, 2026, against Qarabağ in Baku, following serious fan incidents during the Champions League match against FC Barcelona.

The background to this decision is that Frankfurt supporters set off pyrotechnics, threw objects, and caused property damage in the away section during the match in Barcelona on December 9.

UEFA therefore imposed a ban on away fans for the match in Azerbaijan and supplemented the measure with a fine totaling 38,000 euros.

The sanction is especially significant from a sporting perspective, as Frankfurt must secure points in Baku to keep their chances of advancing in the Champions League alive – but now will have to do so without the support of their own fans.
