Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich was fined 150,000 euros ($158,940) by the German Football Federation (DFB) on Tuesday after its supporters disrupted its German Cup win at Ulm in August.
Bayern accepted the ruling of the governing body. It won the August 16 match 4-0.
“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.
League leader Bayern will face holder Bayer Leverkusen in the last 16 of the German Cup on December 3.
