Eintracht Norderstedt in the DFB Cup: Looking for a stadium for the St. Pauli game!

Eintracht Norderstedt has explosive things in the pipeline! On June 15, 2025 it was drawn that the team would play against FC St. Pauli in the first round of the DFB Cup. An exciting game for the team and its loyal supporters, but there is a downer in the game: home advantage does not bring any security, because the Eintracht Norderstedt stadium is in a dilapidated condition and probably cannot be used. NDR reports that the search for a suitable replacement stadium has already begun.

The first meeting is expected to take place between August 15 and 18, 2025, and the anticipation is already palpable. Philipp Koch, the club's midfielder, expressed his enthusiasm about the upcoming duel: "The interest in the game is huge!"

The search for a stadium is in full swing

The search for a suitable stadium is now particularly important for Eintracht, as the relevant preparations must develop quickly. The focus is on fans being able to properly support their club, regardless of where the game ultimately takes place. Eintracht Norderstedt is aware of the challenge and is committed to finding a solution.

In recent years, the topic of sports infrastructure in Germany has become more and more important. In this context, the discussions surrounding synthetic turf pitches should not be neglected. dfb.de highlights that these places offer extensive opportunities for sports, especially in urban areas.

Environmental protection and maintenance of sports fields

Nevertheless, handling the granules used is not without problems. There are numerous challenges related to cleanliness as granules are easily carried off the field by shoes and clothing. With the help of easy-to-implement measures and the right care practices, the lifespan of the pitches can be extended. It is also important to avoid the spread of rubber granules into the environment. The DFB therefore calls on all sports field users to clean their shoes after leaving the field.

The preparations for Eintracht Norderstedt's DFB Cup game are entering the next round and the fans can be excited to see where the duel against FC St. Pauli will ultimately take place. There is still a lot to do and the sports community is called upon to stick together.
