Energy Cottbus punished: 42,000 euros for fans pyro-escapades!
There is always excitement in the world of football, especially when it comes to pyrotechnics. The sports court of the German Football Association (DFB) is currently making headlines because it condemned Energie Cottbus for the misconduct of its fans. In an away game against Hansa Rostock, which took place on May 10, the Cottbus supporters burned at least 120 pyrotechnic objects. As a result of these incidents, the association must now pay a fine of 42,000 euros. Of this, 14,000 euros may be used for their own safety or violent measures, such as RBB24 reported.
It is particularly explosive that the fans ignited about 75 Bengal torches after the kick -off at the second half. The court provides a penalty of 350 euros per pyrotechnic subject. The judgment is already final, Cottbus now has time to agree to the judgment until Thursday. In the context of the current developments, it is interesting to notice that the topic of pyrotechnics in football does high waves every now and then. Recently, other clubs such as SV Werder Bremen, who was punished for similar incidents with 14,000 euros, had to dig deep into their pockets. A total of 14 pyrotechnic objects were burned down, especially in a DFB Cup game against Cottbus, such as DeichstubeThe discussion about pyrotechnics: a double -edged sword
The debate about pyrotechnics as part of the football culture always occurs. In this way, the strictness of the DFB regulations is discussed in specialist circles. While some voices, like different Kjellevold from the "Norsk Supporterallianse", are calling for acceptance for pyrotechnics, others rely on strict punishments. In Norway, for example, a pilot project for legalizing pyrotechnics in stadiums is currently being tested, which is carried out under strict requirements, such as the Sportschau reported. The aim of this project is to reduce unauthorized use.
The effects of the high fines are serious. Since the 2018/2019 season alone, the amount of the penalties has more than doubled, which brings many clubs into a precarious situation. Clubs like Chemnitz FC criticize the strict prohibition policy and demand a rethink because the punishments can endanger the existence of some clubs. In the Regionalliga Northeast, well over 390,000 euros were imposed on penalties.
The question remains: How is the pyrotechnics in football going? Is a rethink necessary to give the fans space, or will the fines remain the means of choice? The discussion will probably accompany us for a while.
