Dynamo Dresden: 25,000 fans in the Olympic Stadium – Coach Stamm optimistic!

On Saturday the Berlin Olympic Stadium will be the scene of an exciting duel in the 2nd Bundesliga Dynamo Dresden and Hertha BSC meet each other. Due to the high level of anticipation, tickets have already been completely sold out and around 25,000 Dynamo fans will accompany their team to the capital. In this context, managing director Stephan Zimmermann emphasized how important it is to work closely with the security providers in order to ensure that the match day runs peacefully.

The last duel between these two teams dates back to 2019, when Dynamo lost to Hertha on penalties in the DFB Cup, despite impressive support from the fans. This time, the team under coach Thomas Stamm hopes to deliver a strong performance and avoid a similar misstep. Stamm remembers the encounter well and emphasizes the responsibility of his players to offer a good show to the numerous supporters who traveled with them.

Focus and team spirit

Dynamo coach Thomas Stamm is optimistic about the fan support. He is confident that the large number of supporters traveling with him will not affect his team's focus on the game. For many players, it is a privilege to take part in such big events and it is a valued career goal. Stamm asks rhetorically whether the weighting of responsibility would be different with fewer fans, only to answer firmly with “no”.

The coach describes the anticipation for the game as intense. “We are keen to play,” he says, emphasizing that collective team performance will be crucial in containing the Berliners’ rapid advances. Hertha BSC is considered to be determined and strong in transition, which will keep the Dresden team on their toes. “We have to close the rooms,” emphasizing that this will be the key to success.

A look at history

There are some exciting moments in the history of the encounters between both teams. At the last meeting in 2019, over 30,000 spectators were present in the Olympic Stadium, which underlined the special atmosphere. In the DFB Cup, the Dresden team failed against Hertha and had to admit defeat on penalties after the game remained exciting until the end.

Stamm and his team are aware of the challenges and have prepared intensively for the upcoming game. Expectations are high and fans are ready to experience another great football event.
