On September 8, 1. FC Köln played against Nice in the Conference League. FC supporters beat opposing fans and shot them with pyrotechnics. About 40 people were injured, including nine police officers. FC was then appalled and announced that identified rioters would be banned from the stadium and expelled from the club.
Evidence is apparently to be secured during the raid. In the afternoon, the police and the public prosecutor’s office want to provide information about the first findings of today’s police action.
1. FC Köln have already had to pay a fine of 100,000 euros and fans will not be able to buy tickets for the next two away games. In addition, the burning of pyrotechnics, the throwing of objects and the riots in the stands in Nice were punished. The kick-off was delayed by an hour due to the riots, and the game ended 1-1.
