Hartmann Suspension Lifted - Stierlin Cleared to Compete
Halle FC's Niclas Stierlin Cleared of Yellow-Red Card Offence
The NOFV Sports Court has made a ruling on the personal sanctions of Halle FC players Fabrice Hartmann and Niclas Stierlin, following an incident during the home match against Chemie Leipzig.
In a surprising turn of events, the sports court has rescinded the yellow-red card shown to Niclas Stierlin during the same match. The Halle FC argued that the decision was a wrong one, and their argument was supported by the sports court.
The incident occurred after the final whistle, and as a result, Fabrice Hartmann was suspended for two games and fined. Hartmann, along with Stierlin, acknowledged the incident before the sports court.
Despite the rescission of Stierlin's yellow-red card, it does not change the fact that the NOFV Sports Court made the ruling on the personal sanctions of HFC players Fabrice Hartmann and Niclas Stierlin. The caution remains in Stierlin's seasonal record.
The rescission means that Stierlin can play in the away match against Chemnitzer FC on Wednesday, following the Halle FC's successful appeal. The next match in which both Hartmann and Stierlin will play for Halle FC, after Hartmann's suspension was lifted, is the home game against ZFC Meuselwitz on October 4, 2025.
The ruling was based on video evidence, which also led to the NOFV opening a case against Fabrice Hartmann. The suspension and fine were due to incidents on the pitch after the final whistle.
The rescission of Niclas Stierlin's yellow-red card does not affect the earlier ruling on Fabrice Hartmann's personal sanctions. Hartmann will serve his suspension and pay the fine as per the ruling.
In conclusion, while Fabrice Hartmann will miss the next two games and face a fine, Niclas Stierlin has been cleared of the yellow-red card offence, allowing him to return to the pitch for Halle FC's upcoming away match against Chemnitzer FC.
