UEFA acts after fans display a neo-Nazi flag

The German football association has been fined €25,000 (£20,075) by UEFA after fans displayed a neo-Nazi flag in the 1-0 win over Denmark on June 17. Germany has now been disciplined for fans' behaviour at all three Euro 2012 group-stage matches, and paid fines totalling €40,000 (£32,120). UEFA said fans were guilty of "improper conduct" at the match against Denmark after monitors from the Europe-wide FARE fans' group identified the neo-Nazi symbol. UEFA previously said Germany fans in the Arena Lviv in Ukraine also sang "inappropriate" chants and set off fireworks. German fans also threw paper missiles at Portugal and Netherlands players at earlier matches.
