🚨 Bayern punished: UEFA closes the Südkurve for the Champions League

The UEFA Disciplinary Committee has sanctioned FC Bayern with the partial closure of the Allianz Arena for their next home match in the Champions League due to the repeated use of pyrotechnics in the Südkurve.

The closure affects sections 111 to 114 of the stadium, which holds about 9,300 seats. The German champion has also been fined 50,000 euros.

The sanction, which was initially suspended, is now in effect following the incident that occurred in the match against Sporting Lisbon on December 9, 2025, and will be applied in the next home game against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise on January 21.

All tickets for the Südkurve will lose their validity and will not allow access to the Allianz Arena for the match against Saint-Gilloise.
