The 36 professional clubs in the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 will receive just under eleven million euros.

Last season's "riot champion" is Eintracht Frankfurt. The Hessians were fined a total of 918,950 euros by the DFB sports court. They were followed by Bundesliga relegated Cologne with 725,750 euros and second division Kaiserslautern with 673,100 euros. Hannover 96 (609,940), Hamburger SV (520,800) and Hansa Rostock (519,280) were also fined more than half a million euros.

As the clubs are allowed to use part of the fines imposed by the DFB for violence prevention measures, only just under eight million euros ended up in the association's account. The DFB used the majority of this for charitable purposes.
