The German Football Association (DFB) may continue to impose fines on clubs for the behavior of their supporters and spectators.
Karlsruhe - The practice would not violate any fundamental principles of the legal system, the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) in Karlsruhe decided on Thursday.
The penalties are to be assessed as a purely preventive measure, this is also permissible through no fault of the clubs.
The regional league team FC Carl Zeiss Jena, who wanted to have the question clarified in principle - and was now defeated in the last instance, had sued.
