Germany fined £20k for fan behaviour including alleged neo-Nazi banner

Germany have been fined 25,000 euros (£20,000) by UEFA because of the behaviour of supporters during their Euro 2012 Group B win over Denmark on June 17.

The German Football Association (DFB) were punished because of the 'improper conduct' of fans in the crowd, which allegedly included the displaying of a neo-Nazi banner.

It is the second time they have been fined during the tournament - their supporters hurled paper balls onto the pitch against Portugal in their first game, which saw them docked £8,000.

Trouble: Germany were fined

UEFA have issued a multitude of fines to various sides, mostly for the misbehaviour of fans.

Portugal were fined in the same game because they delayed the second half, while Russia were hit with a £96,000 fine after their fans attacked stewards during their opening game against Poland.

They were also made to pay £24,000 for displaying illicit banners, while Croatia were forced to pay £20,000 for 'spectator incidents'.
