Dynamo Dresden cancelled their annual general meeting on Saturday morning at the BallsportARENA after a female member suffered a medical emergency and required prolonged resuscitation.
Around 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, quiet descended outside the BallsportARENA in Dresden as emergency responders arrived at the venue. SG Dynamo Dresden had invited roughly 800 members to the hall beginning at 8:30 a.m., but swiftly halted admission as two ambulances and the fire department arrived, tag24.de reported.
A female member collapsed in the hall shortly before the scheduled start and received emergency medical treatment on-site, n-tv.de reported. Rescuers performed resuscitation measures on the woman for over half an hour before transporting her to a hospital, according to tag24.de. WELT said that emergency personnel worked to revive the woman for three-quarters of an hour, leaving attendees waiting outside in acute concern.
At 10:10 a.m., members were briefly let back into the hall solely to be informed that the event was cancelled. Club president Ronny Rehn addressed the roughly 800 gathered members after readmission to explain the decision, tag24.de reported.
Everyone knows what the situation is like with such a long time,” said Ronny Rehn, president of Dynamo Dresden, as reported by WELT.
The club shared an official statement on the platform X, stating: “Our thoughts are with the affected member. We wish all strength and the best possible recovery. Thank you for your understanding,” according to MDR.
Die Mitgliederversammlung 2026 wird aufgrund des medizinischen Notfalls am Morgen nicht am heutigen Samstag durchgeführt. Unsere Gedanken sind beim betroffenen Mitglied. Wir wünschen alle Kraft und bestmögliche Genesung. Vielen Dank für euer Verständnis. #sgd1953 pic.twitter.com/easGNg6PCF
The cancelled assembly was set to feature key ballots for the club’s presidium, youth council, and honorary council. Current bodies will remain in office until an alternative date is found, with the meeting required by club statutes to take place within four weeks of the original invitation, though exceptions exist, tag24.de reported.
The postponed gathering had been widely anticipated as a venue for heated debate amid ongoing friction within several club committees.
Sport-Geschäftsführer Sören Gonther addressed the distraction caused by these administrative disputes in an interview with the Sächsische Zeitung, saying, “The situation as it currently is anything but good. I hope that the things will stop and that we can concentrate again on what we are actually employed here at the club for,” according to WELT.
