FC Bayern will not be allowed to bring fans to their next away game in the European Cup, UEFA has decided.
The record champions decided not to lodge an objection.
Update from March 12th, 4:15 p.m.:
FC Bayern has decided not to appeal against UEFA's ruling and will therefore have to do without its fans in the upcoming away game of the Champions League quarter-finals.
“The club accepts the decision after the relevant requirements of the European Football Association were violated in the round of 16 match at Lazio Rome,” Bayern said in a statement.
“We have to accept the punishment.
Not only were pyrotechnics set off in the stands, but shots were also targeted at the pitch, which put bystanders in immediate danger.
“This violated the probation conditions so explicitly that an objection is unfortunately pointless,” Bavaria’s board chairman Jan-Christian Dreesen is quoted as saying.
Update from February 29th, 7:45 p.m.:
As FC Bayern announced in a press release, the possibility of appealing against the fan exclusion imposed by UEFA is being examined.
“This is a very tough decision.
We had already made an urgent appeal to our supporters in December and asked them to refrain from any further pyrotechnics.
As of now, no fans will be able to accompany us at our next away game in Europe,” CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen is quoted as saying.
And further: “The team is missing important support and it is particularly hard on the fans, who always behave correctly.
We have requested the reasons for the decision and are examining the possibility of an appeal.”

“I hope she meets us.
Because overall we have to move forward first,” said head coach Thomas Tuchel when asked how much such a fan exclusion would affect FC Bayern Munich.
The 50-year-old didn't want to say anything else about the topic because it was inappropriate to comment on it.
