SC Freiburg has been fined 145,000 Euro. The DFB Sports Court has ruled against the Bundesliga club in a solo judge procedure following an indictment by the DFB Control Committee due to unsportsmanlike conduct by its fans.

What happened?

The fine was imposed due to the behavior of Freiburg fans in the DFB Cup match against VfB Stuttgart on April 23, 2026. The fans had ignited at least 112 Bengal fireworks, 30 flashlights, and one rocket.

Why is this important for SC Freiburg?

The fine is final and can no longer be appealed. However, the club can use up to 48,300 Euro for its own security or violence prevention measures.

What's next?

The fines will indirectly benefit football-related charities. The DFB traditionally supports institutions whose activities align with the purposes of the DFB.
