Overview
- The DFB-Bundesgericht adjourned Dynamo Dresden’s appeal on Tuesday, July 21, giving both sides until August 4 to submit further material and setting a final decision for August 6.
- The appeal challenges sanctions the DFB-Sportgericht imposed on May 20, including a K-Block partial spectator ban that was confirmed in a June 5 hearing.
- Judges and Dynamo’s lawyer sharply disagreed after reviewing video footage of the April 4 match against Hertha BSC, making the admissibility and interpretation of those videos central to the outcome.
- Presiding judge Oskar Riedmeyer said fan behavior at the April 4 game was inexcusable and described the sanction as proportionate, but the court kept the case open to consider extra evidence.
- More than 25,000 tickets have already been sold for the August 16 home game and the club says it will notify buyers and seek a customer-friendly solution if the K-Block ban is enforced.
