Riots in amateur football: Elmar Schöniger demands more respect!
Main-Taunus-Kreis, Deutschland - In the past time, the focus has come into focus. Elmar Schöniger, Chairman of the Main-Taunus district sports court and passionate football fan, commented on violence and disrespect in this area in an interview. He sees the current incidents as a reflection of society and demands more cohesion and understanding between those involved.
Schöniger is afraid of the voluntary commitment of the referees after it has been anonymously faced with threats. Such incidents are unacceptable for him and illustrate how little appreciation is often in this sport. He also sees a critical look that many coaches receive charges and considers this to be an expression of the bad role model that they often have.
The situation in youth football
The situation in youth football is particularly alarming, where the incidents also increase. On May 3, 2025, a referee broke a C-Junior game between the TSV Lämmerpiel and SV Germania Steinheim because he felt insulted by parents and trainers. The game of the game was already the ninth in a season with only 14 match days. Despite the referee's massive allegations, the sports court of the football group decided to have the game repeated, which coach Metin Unat von Neu-Isenburg called "scandal".It was found that the referee alerted the police, but ultimately no complaint was filed. The reporting also mentions that video recordings that should serve as evidence were relieving for the Steinheim association. These incidents are increasing, as the example of SC Steinberg's violent players show, which suggests that a rethink is necessary.
progress and necessary measures
On the positive side, the DFB has reported significant progress in the field of violence and discrimination in amateur football in recent years. According to the DFB statistics for the 2023/2024 season, there was a decline in incidents, which indicates that the “Year of the Schiris” campaign, which promotes respectful handling, has started to have an effect. Nevertheless, the situation remains tense, since despite an increase in the number of games played, there are still some problems.
909 games were canceled last year, which represents a decline compared to the previous year. Nevertheless, it wants to take over more responsibility and actively participate in an improvement in the situation. The new handling for serious physical injuries, which can be asserted from the coming season, will hopefully be a step in the right direction.
Overall, amateur football in the Main-Taunus district is required to reform. More respect and better cooperation are urgently needed to lay the basis for a positive development in sport. More beautifully appeals to everyone involved to stand up with a good feeling and mutual understanding of the matter. The future of amateur football depends on each individual.
