Because the game had to be interrupted “for about three minutes” in the 3-0 away win in Cologne after several objects, according to the DFB, in particular chocolate coins, were thrown onto the lawn from the BVB block, the Dortmund team has to pay 10,000 for this offense Pay a fine in euros.
The penalty from the home win against Freiburg was even higher: According to the DFB, the game had to be interrupted for a total of nine minutes because, in addition to chocolate coins, tennis balls also landed on the grass. For this, BVB has to pay a total of 20,000 euros.
Of the total of 30,000 euros, however, Dortmund can use “up to 9,900 euros for security or violence prevention measures, which would have to be proven to the DFB by September 30, 2024,” the association continued. After the association has already agreed to both judgments, they are legally binding.
