Author: Agencies

BERLIN: Bundesliga basement side FC Cologne have been fined 50,000 euros (£44,244.63) after their fans misbehaved at five different league matches this season, the German Football Federation (DFB) said on Monday. The incidents included one in a match at home to Borussia Moenchengladbach where three Cologne supporters disguised themselves as stewards to enter the visiting fans’ section and steal a flag. Other offences included the use of pyrotechnics and displaying a banner which insulted Dietmar Hopp, the software billionaire owner of Hoffenheim, the DFB said.
