August 23, according to German media Bild, the German Bundesliga will announce the referee assignments for the first round of matches at 00:30 tonight. In addition, Bild has also revealed that controversial German referee Felix Zwayer will be the official for Borussia Dortmund’s home opener of the new season.
On December 4, 2021, after Dortmund lost 2-3 to Bayern Munich, Zwayer’s many controversial decisions caused great misunderstanding and protests from Dortmund players, owners and supporters. After the match, Bellingham hinted at Zwayer’s involvement in the 20-year referee scandal involving Robert Hoyzer, and accused him of accepting bribes. For his comments, Bellingham was fined €40,000 by the German Football Association.
Afterwards, the Bundesliga refereeing officials informed Zwayer that he would not be refereeing any Dortmund matches for some time. However, after nearly three years, Zwayer is once again being assigned to officiate a Dortmund match.
