Dynamo Dresden’s fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming season in the second division, but the newly promoted team will begin their campaign with an away game. According to reports,this scheduling adjustment is due to a major sporting event taking place in Dresden.
“Die Finals” Take Centre Stage
The reason for Dynamo Dresden’s away start can be summarized in two words: “Die finals.” This multi-sport event, scheduled from July 31 to August 3, coincides with the opening weekend of the second division season. It is poised to be Dresden’s largest sporting event since German reunification.
The event will feature approximately 100 German championships awarded across 18 different sports.The budget for “Die Finals” is estimated at around five million euros. broadcasters ARD and ZDF are planning extensive live coverage, utilizing ten outside broadcasting vans to deliver over 30 hours of programming.
ZDF Sports Director Yorck Polus described the event as a “mini-Olympics, but the atmosphere is that of a major Olympics.” Competitions will be held in nine sports venues within a 3.5-kilometer radius of the city center. The Heinz-Steyer-Stadion, which reopened a year ago, will serve as the centerpiece, hosting the track and field events.
The athletics competitions are expected to draw Germany’s top athletes, including Olympic shot put champion Yemisi Ogunleye, long jump champion Malaika Mihambo, and leading sprinter gina Lückenkemper.

Organizers anticipate up to 200,000 spectators will attend “Die Finals,” perhaps straining the city’s resources. Adding a Dynamo Dresden home game to the mix was deemed unfeasible.
Kaisermania Concert Series Adjusted
The scheduling conflict also affects other events in Dresden.The popular “Kaisermania” concert series, featuring German pop singer Roland Kaiser, typically held over two consecutive weekends, has been adjusted. The four sold-out concerts, expected to draw 60,000 fans, will now take place on July 25-26 and August 8-9 to accommodate “Die finals.”
Dynamo Dresden’s pre-season preparations remain unaffected. Training is scheduled to begin on June 22, with a training camp in Windischgarsten, Austria, planned for the first week of July.
pre-Season Friendlies Announced
The team has also scheduled its first pre-season friendlies: June 27 against Thüringen Weida, followed by a match against a Kamenzer selection on June 28. A highlight will be a three-team tournament in Zwickau on July 20, featuring the home team FSV Zwickau and Bundesliga side VfL Wolfsburg.
The second division schedule is expected to be released in late June or early July. Dynamo fans can mark August 9 or 10 on their calendars for the first home game of the season.
