Continuity in the Lilies' Youth Performance Centre: Björn Müller has extended his contract as sporting director of the youth performance center (NLZ) for the long term. The new contract is now valid until June 30, 2027. Müller has been working in this position since June 2022.
In February, SV 98 lodged an objection against a ruling by the DFB sports court due to the use of pyrotechnic material over 43,000 euros (away game in Stuttgart on September 22, 2023) for fundamental reasons. This objection was rejected at a hearing on April 5th. In addition, in another case, SV 98 was fined 2,000 euros for unauthorised entry onto the pitch by several people at the home game against Leipzig (October 21, 2023). The SV 98 had already communicated to the oral hearing that the implementation of a possible appeal procedure would be dependent on the written reasons for the judgment.

And yet we are pleased that new season ticket holders can be welcomed every summer. For the coming season, a change and waiting list is now available on the club's own homepage.

Sunday evening. Floodlight game. Everything is set for a thrilling duel between the two Bundesliga newcomers in the Merck Stadium at the Böllenfalltor. With 1. FC Heidenheim, the Lilies face an opponent who has one constant above all: head coach Frank Schmidt. The 50-year-old led his team into solid midfield in the first Bundesliga season and beat the record champions from Munich three weeks ago. At the end of the 31st matchday (April 28th/7:30pm), the SVD still wants to keep the points in southern Hesse. We'll take a closer look at FCH before the home game.

Tobias Kempe speaks in the circle and looks deeply into his teammates' eyes. “Wear the lily on your chest with pride!” he says.
Balm for the lily soul. SV Darmstadt 98 ends its months-long winless streak at the RheinEnergie Stadium and beats 1. FC Köln 2-0.

How do both head coaches classify the game? We have summarised all the voices about the game for you.
