Following the repeated use of pyrotechnics in the Südkurve (south stand) during UEFA Champions League home games, FC Bayern has been fined €50,000 by the UEFA Disciplinary Committee and handed a partial ban covering sectors 111 to 114 of the Allianz Arena for its next UEFA club competition home match. Following the incident during the game against Sporting Lisbon on 9 December 2025, the penalty, which had originally been suspended, will now take effect during the upcoming home game against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise on 21 January.
As tickets for FC Bayern's home games in the lower tier of the Südkurve are not allocated by block and all 9,336 tickets are valid for blocks 109 to 117, it is technically impossible for the club to cancel only the 4,800 tickets for blocks 111 to 114. For this reason, all tickets for the Südkurve will be cancelled in a first step, and the club will refund the ticket price to the respective purchasers. All tickets for the Südkurve will therefore lose their validity and will not entitle holders to admission to the Allianz Arena for the game against Saint-Gilloise. The tickets will be cancelled on Friday. Should the tickets for blocks 109 to 110 and 115 to 117 go back on sale at a later date, FC Bayern will provide timely and specific information about the further procedure and organisational details.
