UEFA Fines Germany Over Ronaldo Selfie Chaos

UEFA has fined the German soccer federation 20,000 euros for failing to stop fans from invading the field to take selfies with Cristiano Ronaldo during the European Championship. Additional fines were imposed on the Georgian and Turkish federations after a stadium brawl.

UEFA has imposed a fine on its tournament co-organizer Germany following multiple instances of fans invading the field to take selfies with soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo during the European Championship.

The disciplinary rulings, published Monday, saw the German soccer federation fined a total of 20,000 euros ($21,500) for lapses in "order and security" and the failure to "protect the playing area" at games against the Czech Republic and Turkey.

The incidents have led UEFA to announce a review and an increase in security measures at stadiums. In addition, fines were also levied against the Georgian and Turkish soccer federations following a pre-game brawl between their fans in Dortmund.
