Dynamo Dresden: Sollbauer returns as a promotion hero!

There will be an exciting football game in Austria on Saturday at 4 p.m.: Dynamo Dresden will test against SV Ried. For Michael Sollbauer, a former Dynamo player, this encounter has a special meaning. The defender, who was relegated from the 2nd Bundesliga with Dresden in the 2012/22 season, has now achieved promotion to the 1st Austrian Bundesliga with Ried. He doesn't like to remember the painful relegation back then because the team was young and inexperienced back then, he says. Now he is optimistic and looking forward to seeing his former teammates again, especially Christoph Daferner, who is currently actively playing in the Dynamo squad and always values ​​their relationship. Daferner describes Sollbauer as an important player who brings valuable experience and is still in demand in the second division today.

Both players have maintained sporadic contact in the past. “I want to win in the game,” emphasizes Sollbauer, while Daferner points out that they will shake hands after the game. This sporting spirit contributes to the positive atmosphere between the teams, who are both still looking for reinforcements and are also putting young talents in the spotlight in the test matches.

End of the season with a bang

Dynama's end to the season couldn't be better. On May 17, 2025, the team celebrated a perfect conclusion in their home stadium with a 3-0 win against SpVgg Unterhaching, who had already been relegated. In front of 30,646 fans, Mika Baur, Jakob Lemmer and Claudio Kammerknecht scored the goals in a game that the team ended in style. Coach Thomas Stamm was extremely positive about the signing of Christoph Daferner, who was signed permanently by 1. FC Nürnberg after previously being on loan. This was a big sign for the future of the club, which achieved promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga with these players.

Before the game, the players were celebrated by the fans in a parade on Lennéstrasse - an emotional moment that certainly put the team in a good mood. Meanwhile, the traffic chaos around the stadium caused by other events was also discussed.

New arrivals and loan transactions

In the last few weeks, Dynamo Dresden has also made some personnel changes. New signing Marlon Faß, who comes from the U19 team at TSG Hoffenheim, was loaned to the Stuttgarter Kickers. Sports director Thomas Brendel explains that Faß fits well into the Regionalliga Südwest and can gain match practice there, which he is currently missing in Dresden. Lutz Siebrecht, sporting director of the Stuttgarter Kickers, praises the young player and highlights his strengths in the penalty area.

These developments show that the Dresden team is well on the way to playing a better role in the 2nd Bundesliga next year. If squad planning continues to go smoothly, Dynamo could reach new heights.

The coming days promise exciting encounters and developments for Dynamo Dresden, while Michael Sollbauer and Christoph Daferner celebrate their sporting roots and toast to future encounters.
