Overview
- Lok Leipzig was penalized €30,000 and must play its next DFB-Pokal home match with sections of the Bruno-Plache-Stadion closed.
- Closures cover the main stand, the lower tier, and blocks 1–6 in the Dammsitz, with banners, posters, and flags prohibited in those areas.
- The sanctions follow repeated racist insults toward Schalke’s Christopher Antwi-Adjei beginning in the 13th minute, which led to a ten-minute stoppage and a stadium announcement.
- Up to €10,000 of the fine may be redirected to anti-discrimination measures, including an action plan against racism.
- Previous discriminatory incidents by Lok supporters were cited as aggravating, while the club’s public apology to Antwi-Adjei was considered mitigating.
