2. Bundesliga: Dynamo appeals against sports court ruling

“After consultation with the committees, we consciously decided to take this step. The procedure of the negotiations in Frankfurt did not correspond to what we as a club had hoped for. We are confident that we will have a better opportunity to have our arguments heard in a new round of negotiations before the DFB Federal Court,” said Dynamo managing director Stephan Zimmermann in a club statement.

During Hertha’s 1-0 win in Dresden on April 4th, there was, among other things, massive use of pyrotechnics and riots inside. The police had to intervene and the game was interrupted for a long time. Numerous people were injured.

Sports court does not follow Dynamo argument

Hertha was then sentenced to a fine of 152,000 euros and Dynamo had to pay 91,200 euros. In addition, fans will be partially locked out of the next two Dynamo home games. However, the second game will be suspended until the summer of 2027. In addition, both teams must develop a common security concept for upcoming games and reduce the number of guests.

Dresden saw the partial exclusion of spectators as a collective punishment and objected to it. However, the Saxons’ arguments did not convince the sports court.
