Dynamo Dresden Fined €100,350 by DFB Over Mannheim Fan Disorder

The club has contested the ruling, triggering a review that could modify the penalty.

Overview

  • Dynamo Dresden was sanctioned by the DFB sports court for supporter misconduct tied to the May 10, 2025 match at Waldhof Mannheim, the day the team sealed promotion.
  • Several Dresden supporters entered the playing area late in the match, prompting a brief suspension to prevent confrontations with Mannheim fans.
  • After the final whistle, hundreds of visiting fans stormed the field and pyrotechnics were ignited, with at least 42 flares and six smoke devices reported.
  • A smoke device was thrown toward a police officer and at least ten rockets were fired toward Mannheim supporters and police and security personnel, according to the DFB.
  • Up to one third of the €100,350 fine (€33,450) may be invested in security or violence-prevention measures, and the appeal leaves the sanction not yet final.
