Hertha Berlin have banned 23 of their fans from all football stadiums in Germany for three years after supporters rioted at Berlin's Olympic Stadium following last weekend's defeat by Nuremberg.
After Nuremberg scored an injury-time winner in Berlin, around 100 spectators jumped barriers and chased the players off the pitch, threatening them with flagpoles which they then used to vandalise the bench area.
The German Football Federation (DFB) are investigating the violence which saw parts of the stadium damaged before police regained control, but Hertha have identified 23 fans and informed them that they are banned until July 2013.
