Lillestrøm SK has been fined 357,500 kroner for pyrotechnic use during the cup final against Sarpsborg. This is stated in a decision made by the football association's disciplinary committee.

What happened?

LSK's supporters fired around 141 pyrotechnic articles in category P1 during the match. This caused a stop in play for about two and a half minutes.

Reaction from LSK

– It's an extreme amount of money, says LSK's managing director Robert Lauritsen. We knew that what happened would lead to a consequence, but this is absolutely more than we had expected.

The size of the fine

The fine of 357,500 kroner is the second most extensive sanction imposed on a Norwegian football club for pyrotechnic use last year. | Fine | Club | Year | | --- | --- | --- | | 357,500 | Lillestrøm SK | 2023 | | 16,250 | Sarpsborg | 2023 |

Next step

LSK has an appeal period of seven days. – We will sum up and discuss this further, and then we'll see if it will be appealed or not, says Lauritsen.
