Match Result Decided:: The cancelled match from mid-March has been officially awarded as a 2-0 victory to 1. FC Schweinfurt 05.
Reason for Cancellation:: Türkgücü München failed to secure a league-compliant stadium for the home game. Their usual Dantestadion did not meet safety requirements, and alternative venues were unavailable.
Financial Penalty:: Alongside the match forfeiture, Türkgücü München has received a fine of €3,000 for causing the cancellation, violating BFV regulations (Paragraf 78).
League Table Impact:: Schweinfurt gains three points via the ruling, solidifying their top position with a significant 12-point lead over the nearest promotion rival, SpVgg Bayreuth. Türkgücü München remains in the relegation zone.
Appeal Window:: Türkgücü München can appeal the decision until April 10, 2025.
Why this matters:: This ruling underscores how crucial off-field organisation and adherence to league regulations are, demonstrating that failures can lead to forfeited matches, fines, and major shifts in competitive standings.
The cancellation occurred because Türkgücü München couldn't find a suitable venue. The Dantestadion was deemed inadequate for safety reasons, while other potential locations like the Grünwalder Stadion or ATS-Sportpark in Heimstetten were already booked. When a rescheduled date couldn't be agreed upon (Schweinfurt declined a midweek trip), the BFV initiated sports court proceedings. The court's decision cites specific regulations (Paragraf 78 for causing the cancellation and Paragraf 29 of the Spielordnung for the 2-0 forfeiture). This "win on the green table" significantly boosts Schweinfurt's chances for promotion to the 3. Liga, widening the gap considerably over SpVgg Bayreuth (as second-placed Illertissen reportedly did not apply for a 3. Liga license). For Türkgücü, the verdict compounds their difficult season, adding a financial penalty to their ongoing fight against relegation.
