Overview
- The DFB has applied for a €30,000 fine and a closure of the Dammsitz section at Lok Leipzig’s next cup match, according to Bild reporting relayed by ran.de.
- Lok CEO Toni Wachsmuth says the club does not agree with the disciplinary application as filed, with the case still pending in the federation’s process.
- Local reports say closing the Dammsitz would add a five-figure loss in ticket income on top of the fine for the Regionalliga side.
- The August 17 match was briefly halted after a racist insult toward Christopher Antwi-Adjei, and the player was booed on his touches once play resumed.
- Lok Leipzig issued a formal apology condemning racism, Antwi-Adjei described the slur as an isolated shout he reported to the assistant referee, and Schalke won 1–0 after extra time.
