DFB Slashes Dynamo Dresden Fines After Appeal, Final Bill Set at €165,000

A sport-court hearing trimmed penalties for unrest in Rostock plus the Mannheim pitch invasion to a single consolidated sum.

  • The Rostock fine was reduced from €113,450 to €90,000 following the hearing.
  • The Mannheim penalty dropped from €100,350 to €75,000 after the appeal.
