The harsh punishments following the riots in the second division match between Dynamo Dresden and Hertha BSC Berlin remain in place. As announced by the German Football Association, the DFB sports court has rejected the Dresden team's appeal against the judgment of May 20. An appeal against the decision can be lodged with the DFB Federal Court within one week.
During Hertha's 1-0 win in Dresden on April 4, there was, among other things, massive use of pyrotechnics and rioting inside the stadium. The police had to intervene and the match was interrupted for a long time. Numerous people were injured.
