Overview
- DFB’s sports court confirmed a €164,550 sanction against 1. FC Magdeburg for two pyrotechnics cases from September and October 2025.
- At Arminia Bielefeld, Magdeburg supporters ignited at least 35 devices and at least 35 rockets, leading to a stoppage of over two minutes and a €95,550 fine, with up to €31,850 eligible for security measures.
- In the DFB-Pokal at FV Illertissen, fans lit 64 flares, five smoke bombs, at least 11 blinkers, 15 rockets and three bangers, resulting in a €69,000 penalty, with up to €23,000 earmarked for prevention projects.
- BILD reports roughly 450 flares at Union Berlin vs. Eintracht Frankfurt and a smoke delay of about seven minutes, which under DFB guidelines could translate to €450,000 to roughly €900,000 depending on interruption and repeat‑offender factors.
- Further rulings remain pending, including a case after Magdeburg’s violent Dresden derby that left more than 60 police injured and additional Union incidents already fined or under review.
