Bundesliga club FSV Mainz 05 will lodge an administrative complaint with the Federal Court of the German Football Association regarding the scheduling of the DFB Cup match at Dynamo Dresden (August 18). This is the last instance in which a postponement of the match to another day can be decided, as the 05 team announced. Previously, an application to postpone the match and the subsequent appeal against this decision had been rejected.
The reason for this is that FSV have to play the first leg of the Conference League play-offs just three days later. The draw will take place on August 4. The matches in Dresden and in the Conference League would be the first two of five scheduled competitive matches for Mainz in a period of less than two weeks.
