Scandal in football: Youth coach of the 1st FC Magdeburg under suspicion!

Frankfurt (Oder), Deutschland - The public prosecutor's office in Frankfurt (Oder) has initiated investigations against a youth coach of 1. FC Magdeburg. The allegations are serious: there is suspicion of the production of youth pornographic content after the trainer is said to have secretly filmed players while moving and showering. The incident occurred during a friendly game last week in Frankfurt (Oder), where the players concerned asked the coach because they had noticed the suspicious process. Two criminal complaints from concerned parents are already available.

When the trainer's search was searched, data carriers were secured. According to reports, the trainer had hidden a phone in his pocket to take the recordings. Another person could be involved in the incident: it is believed that this person has deleted data from the recorded device. Since the accused's crime scene and place of residence are in different federal states, the case was handed over to the responsible public prosecutor's office in Magdeburg, as [https://www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/pornography-vertacht- against-jugend-trainer-der-1-fc-magdburg-13810717.hml).

reactions of the association

The 1st FC Magdeburg reacted immediately to the allegations. The trainer concerned was released from his tasks and was banned from a house. The association has also assured that all the relevant information from the public prosecutor's office has to support the investigation.

These incidents once again skimmed the need for child and youth protection in sports. In this context, the discussion about licensing guidelines and their consequences in the event of misconduct according to a legal opinion by Dr. Thomas Summerer, which is based on the framework guidelines of the German Olympic Sports Association (DOSB), is increasingly important. Among other things, the report offers samples for license agreements and a checklist for implementation and illuminates the need for a penalty catalog that could be used in the event of misconduct of licensors. This is supported by an expert opinion by Prof. Dr. Cherkh, which contains ideas for the further development of the license system within the DOSB license training.

The systematic analysis of these concepts could help to standardize the standards and regulations in sport and to strengthen the trust in the training of the trainers, which is of particular urgency in the light of current allegations. The board of directors of the DOSB also plans a comprehensive discussion with experts from various member organizations to discuss the upcoming association policy decisions.

The case of the youth coach of 1. FC Magdeburg illustrates the challenges that the amateur and professional sport faces, especially in the protection of children and adolescents. The investigation is pursued with tension and could have far -reaching consequences for the association and the sports landscape as a whole.
