DFB-Cup-Losfessen education: Owen viewing causes excitement!

An exciting weekend is for all football fans: On Sunday, June 15, 2025, the first round of the DFB Cup 2025/26 will be drawn. This event takes place live on ZDF from 5.15 p.m. and is moderated by the talented Lili Engels. In a special role, the Hamburger SV-Lichtthlete Owen will be acting, which is the first "lottery" that has run over 100 meters under 10 seconds-more precisely in 9.99 seconds. This makes him the first German to set this impressive record, as reported https://www.hsv.de/news/hsv-splitter).

But what is the DFB Cup actually all about? The DFB Cup, often also referred to as a DFB club cup, is the second most important title in German club football. Since his initial entry in 1935, at that time led as a Tschammer Cup, competition has been very popular. In the knockout system, 64 teams, including the Bundesliga, 2nd Bundesliga and even amateur associations, determine the winner. [Wikipedia describes the cup structure that enables teams to measure themselves against opponents of different classes.

The first rounds and special features

The first DFB Cup games are scheduled between 15 and 18 August 2025. However, a little delay is waiting for the defending champion VfB Stuttgart and the master FC Bayern Munich: Both teams will only come into play on August 26 or 27. The grand finale takes place in the Berlin Olympic Stadium on May 23, 2026 - a highlight in the football calendar!

Another great event in the HSV environment: U19 player Jeremy Ade has extended his contract at Hamburger SV and is now faithful to the club in its eleventh season. The young footballer once switched to HSV at the age of just eight and played exclusively for this club during this time. In addition, a real HSV legend birthday celebrates today: Bernd Wehmeyer, who can book three championship titles and a European Cup win in 236 competitive games, is 73 years old. Wing player Bakery Jatta also has a reason to be happy, because he turns 27 and is the second division record player of the HSV with 180 out of 217 competitive games.
