Brann have been fined 115,000 kroner by UEFA following a security breach during their match against Apollon Limassol in August. A supporter threw objects, including small glass flasks, at the visiting goalkeeper Philipp Kühn, resulting in a 15-match ban for the individual involved.
Christian Kalvenes, Brann's daily manager, emphasised the seriousness with which the club views the incident., Throwing objects onto the pitch is strictly forbidden. This is about player safety. It is incredibly important that players feel safe on the field, said Kalvenes. The club has identified the one person responsible for the throwing.
The case comes as Brann sit seventh in the Eliteserien with 29 points. The team has just secured back-to-back wins, the latest a 2-1 home victory over Bodø/Glimt.
With an injury situation still affecting the squad, maintaining order both on and off the pitch is a priority. Brann's top scorer this season is Noah Jean Holm with six goals, and the team's squad list shows the strength they aim to build upon.
