Youth derby escalated: Aue has to pay 2,000 euros!

Meißen, Deutschland - An incident from the youth football scene causes excitement in Saxony. With a derby of the U16 between Erzgebirge Aue and the U17 of the FSV Zwickau, the game had to be canceled prematurely due to riots. The events on the edge of the field were overshadowed by a massive attack by alleged supporters of the home association, which has now serious consequences. The sports court of the Saxon Football Association (SFV) then evaluated the game of the game 2-0 in favor of the Zwickauer and sent Erzgebirge Aue to a fine of 2,000 euros. [.diesachsen.de] (https://www.diesachsen.de/sport/2- 000-geldstrafe-nach-buch-buch-bei-jugendderby-3027773) reports that the association accepts the decision and plans to transfer the costs to the persons responsible.

The incidents on the day of the game were dramatic. At least 30 masked people penetrated the Zwickau fans, which led to tumultuous scenes. Three 15-year-olds and a 19-year-old were injured, with one of the injuries even had to go to the hospital. To make matters worse, fan utensils were also robbed. The attackers were finally able to settle into nearby forests. The police have already arrested a 27-year-old who is suspected of being involved in these attacks. He is investigated against the breach of the peace. [.diesachsen.de] (https://www.diesachsen.de/sport/2-000-eurogeldstrafe-nach-buch-buch-bei-jugend- 3027773)

The reaction of the association and the association

The chairman of Erzgebirge Aue emphasized that the association had taken all organizational measures to ensure the safety of the audience in advance. Nevertheless, Aue now bears full responsibility for the events that require follow -up of the events. The investigation is still underway, and the question of how such riots can be avoided in the future is in space.

In football, fans are unfortunately not an isolated case. For example, the Stuttgart Kickers association also had to accept a fine of 3,000 euros after a similar misconduct had occurred in the last game of the season against Chemnitz FC. At that time, around 25 fans stormed the place and attacked players verbally and physically [.stuttgarter-nachrichten.de] (https://www.stuttgarter-nachrichten.de/inhalt.auschreitungen-der-fans-kickers-kickers-money penalty.

The challenge in football culture

These incidents throw a shadow on the youth promotion in football, which is actually passionately represented. Sport should offer a platform for fairness and community, but reality often looks different. Teams and associations face the challenge of counteracting these negative currents and creating a safe environment for everyone involved. How will it go on to maintain enthusiasm for sport without having to stand over everything?

The processing of the incidents at the derby between Erzgebirge Aue and FSV Zwickau remains to be seen for the time being. What is certain, however, is that football is not only shaped by the sporting performance, but also to ensure the responsibility, security and order on and off the square.
