Man who made it onto stadium roof during Euro 2024 clash fined

The man who climbed under the roof of the Dortmund stadium during Germany's Euro 2024 last-16 win over Denmark has been fined, the Dortmund public prosecutor's office has said.

The 21-year-old had been fined €1,050 ($1,164) over the June 30 incident, the office said.

The man from Osnabrück was spotted climbing on the beams under the roof during the match. Police kept him under surveillance until the end of the match, when a special task force removed and arrested him.

The day after the incident, police announced that the man had only wanted to take photographs from the unusual vantage point. Media had speculated over a major security breach given he was masked and carrying a rucksack, but police said the bag contained camera equipment.
