Injection device for injecting fluid, in particular fuel, comprising: - a valve seat which, downstream of a sealing surface, has an opening with a diameter, which opening is adjoined by a funnel-shaped inflow chamber which widens proceeding from said diameter and which serves for supplying the fluid to spray holes (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16), - wherein the spray holes (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) are arranged so as to be situated radially outside the opening in the projection, such that a radially outwardly directed flow of the fluid (arrows B, C, D, E) is generated in the inflow chamber, characterized - in that at least one first spray hole and one second spray hole form a spray hole pair, - wherein the first and second spray holes (11, 12) are arranged such that a spacing between the two spray holes (11, 12) is less than or equal to two times a maximum opening edge spacing (D1, D2) at an inflow side of the two spray holes (11, 12), - and wherein the spray hole pair has a spacing to other spray holes greater than the spacing between the first and second spray holes (11, 12), - and wherein the spray hole axes (11a, 12a) of the first and second spray holes (11, 12) are arranged in mutually different directions, such that - the main flow of the inflowing fluid is directed to each of the two spray holes (11, 12) of a spray hole pair from a side opposite the region between the two spray holes (11, 12) with the spacing (arrow C), - wherein a main flow of the fluid is fed to each spray hole at an inflow angle (γ, δ), such that a sum of the inflow angle (γ, δ) and an angle of inclination (α, β) of the spray hole axes (11a, 12a) is less than or equal to 90°. - a valve seat which, downstream of a sealing surface, has an opening with a diameter, which opening is adjoined by a funnel-shaped inflow chamber which widens proceeding from said diameter and which serves for supplying the fluid to spray holes (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16), - wherein the spray holes (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) are arranged so as to be situated radially outside the opening in the projection, such that a radially outwardly directed flow of the fluid (arrows B, C, D, E) is generated in the inflow chamber, characterized - in that at least one first spray hole and one second spray hole form a spray hole pair, - wherein the first and second spray holes (11, 12) are arranged such that a spacing between the two spray holes (11, 12) is less than or equal to two times a maximum opening edge spacing (D1, D2) at an inflow side of the two spray holes (11, 12), - and wherein the spray hole pair has a spacing to other spray holes greater than the spacing between the first and second spray holes (11, 12), - and wherein the spray hole axes (11a, 12a) of the first and second spray holes (11, 12) are arranged in mutually different directions, such that - the main flow of the inflowing fluid is directed to each of the two spray holes (11, 12) of a spray hole pair from a side opposite the region between the two spray holes (11, 12) with the spacing (arrow C), - wherein a main flow of the fluid is fed to each spray hole at an inflow angle (γ, δ), such that a sum of the inflow angle (γ, δ) and an angle of inclination (α, β) of the spray hole axes (11a, 12a) is less than or equal to 90°.
