Bayern Munich and VfB Stuttgart receive reduced fines for pyro incidents

Bayern Munich and VfB Stuttgart have successfully appealed to reduce their fines imposed by the DFB Sports Court for the use of pyrotechnics during the DFB-Pokal final. Initially, both clubs faced €260,000 fines, but after the appeal, Stuttgart's fine was lowered to €200,000, while Bayern's was reduced to €170,000. The appeals represented a significant reduction of €60,000 for Stuttgart and €90,000 for Bayern. Despite still facing substantial penalties, the reductions are viewed positively by both clubs, as the DFB continues to enforce strict fines related to pyrotechnics.
