(CNN)German football team FC Chemnitzer said it has sacked captain Daniel Frahn for displaying sympathy toward neo-Nazis during a league match.
Frahn, who joined the third-tier side in 2016, was unable to play Saturday’s game against Hallescher due to injury but chose instead to watch the match from the stands.
He was seated with a group of far-right fans and, according to the club, was clearly seen to display sympathy for the supporters — a move that “caused great damage to the club.”
