Graffiti in front of Hertha building: Dynamo distances itself

Second-division soccer club Dynamo Dresden has reacted with regret to graffiti on the offices of league rivals Hertha BSC. "The sports community clearly distances itself from this kind of legacy, which is not compatible with the values of the club. Vandalism in any form is not tolerable," explained the Dresdeners on request.

A wall at the Berliners' office was graffitied by unknown persons during the week. However, the messages point in the direction of Dynamo's fan scene. Pictures circulated on social media. Among other things, they read "Dynamo is coming!" and, in addition to insulting words, also addressed to Hertha: "Give us more tickets, otherwise we'll be kicked out!". The capital city club is considering filing a complaint with the police and has since had the graffiti painted over.

Hertha v Dynamo is considered a high-risk match

On November 1, Hertha will host Dynamo at the Olympiastadion (1:00 pm/Sky). According to the club, Hertha have made an increased contingent of more than 11,000 tickets available to the Saxons for the match. More tickets could and should not be given to Dresden, according to the Berliners. The Saxons explained that both clubs were "in close contact and are working intensively on the further ticket situation, security precautions and procedures on match day."
