English football supporters travelling to Germany for matches could face fines of up to £2,500 for wearing replica shirts, according to new regulations. The measure is part of a crackdown on fan behaviour ahead of international fixtures.
The fines apply to any clothing that could be seen as promoting English nationalism, including football shirts with St George's crosses. German authorities have introduced the rule to prevent potential disorder during matches.
Fans are advised to check the latest travel guidance before attending games. The Football Association has urged supporters to respect local laws and avoid wearing items that could lead to penalties.
This development comes as England prepares for upcoming fixtures in Germany, with authorities aiming to ensure safety and order at stadiums and in public spaces.
