Bundesliga favorites Bayern Munich were imposed a fine of 150,000 euros ($158,940) by the German Football Federation (DFB) on Tuesday. The imposition came as a result of its supporters disrupting its German Cup win at Ulm in August.
Fans of Bayern Munich had impeded the progress of the match by lighting fireworks. It also accounted for the breach of security and potential violence.
“In the 46th minute of the DFB Cup match at SSV Ulm… Munich spectators ignited at least 70 flares and four firework batteries, which launched tracer elements and rockets,” DFB said in a statement.

“Some of these were directed toward the pitch, forcing a roughly three-minute interruption in the game due to heavy smoke. Of this amount, the club can allocate up to 50,000 euros for security or violence prevention measures, which must be verified to the DFB by June 30, 2025,” it added.
The German giant had won the game 4-0 on August 16.
Bayern Munich accepted the verdict of the governing body.
The 32-times Bundesliga title winners have won the German Cup a record 20 times, the most recent in 2020.

Earlier this week, Jamal Musiala pushed Bayern Munich five points clear at the top of the Bundesliga table with a 1-0 win on Saturday.
