FRANKFURT, Germany — UEFA has fined its tournament co-organizer Germany for failing to stop selfie-seekers from coming onto the field to get photos taken with Cristiano Ronaldo at the European Championship.
The charges against Germany related to “order and security” at games and “protection of the playing area” after multiple fans invaded the field to take photos with Ronaldo.
The total amount of fines levied across the 36-game group stage, including some that were previously announced, was almost €1.3 million across 22 of the 24 national federations at the tournament. Only Slovakia and Spain were exempt. Other disciplinary charges included transmitting provocative and unfit messages, such as nationalist flags and slogans on banners, against federations including Albania, Serbia, Denmark, Romania, Switzerland, Hungary and Slovenia.
