Pyrotechnics: Cologne fined almost €160,000 by German FA
The DFB said on Wednesday that Cologne were fined €93,300 for incidents at a November match at Hertha Berlin, and another 66,200 for the same reason at the home game against Kaiserslautern in Mai where they clinched a return into the top flight.
The latter game also saw fans enter the stadium without tickets and a pitch invasion after the final whistle.
Cologne can use €51,100 for their own security measures and for the prevention of violence at games.
Cologne are repeat offenders and in 2024 alone were fined €630,000 by the DFB.

Luis Diaz's medical details before signing with Bayern Munich
New Colombian in the Bundesliga. Luis Diaz's medical details before signing with Bayern Munich The long-anticipated transfer of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich reaches its final stages, with the Colombian winger scheduled for medical tests in Germany on Monday. Liverpool's hierarchy reluctantly agreed to the £65.4 million deal after Bayern's persistent pursuit finally met their valuation. Diaz's departure comes after months of frustration over stalled contract negotiations, with the 28-year-old feeling undervalued at Anfield. His absence during Liverpool's 4-2 pre-season defeat to AC Milan in Asia spoke volumes, with new manager Arne Slot acknowledging the uncertainty surrounding the player's future while praising his professionalism in training. Bayern's initial £58.5 million approach last week fell short, but Vincent Kompany's determination to land his target proved decisive. The improved weekend offer triggered Liverpool's acceptance, paving the way for Diaz to end his three-year Merseyside stint. Slot remained coy when pressed about potential exits, deflecting questions linking Darwin Nunez's similar absence to transfer speculation.
