Norderstedt in the DFB Cup: The big duel against St. Pauli is approaching!

A real highlight is coming up for Eintracht Norderstedt on August 16, 2025: They will face FC St. Pauli in the first round of the DFB Cup. The game will take place in the Millerntor Stadium, where the kickers from Norderstedt will face the home game of the tournament favorite. Kick-off is at 3:30 p.m. and the NDR Livecenter will broadcast the event for football fans.

The captain of Norderstedt, Moritz Christopher Wenzel Frahm, is already full of anticipation. Many players on his team have never played in front of a crowd of 30,000, which adds to the pressure and excitement. For Frahm, the game also means a return to his old place of work; He played in St. Pauli's youth teams from 2014 to 2021. The new summer signing Felix Werner Wolfgang Drinkuth also has a connection to St. Pauli. He appeared in 32 games for the U23s.

The current form

Coach Elard Ostermann is relieved that the wait for the game is now over. Norderstedt got off to a mixed start in the Regionalliga Nord – with one win and two defeats from the first three games. Nevertheless, keeper Lars Huxsohl remains calm and emphasizes that it's all about having fun in the game. Captain Frahm has clear demands: “We have to be tough in duels and be stable defensively,” is his motto, while at the same time the team wants to speculate on transition moments.

Financial perspectives

Another exciting element is the financial potential of the cup tournament. The payouts for the different rounds are significant:

round amount
1st round 211,886 euros
2nd round 423,772 euros
Round of 16 847,544 euros
Quarterfinals 1,695,088 euros
Semifinals 3,390,175 euros
Final loser 2,880,000 euros
Cup winner 4,320,000 euros

The total payout for the DFB Cup is an impressive 75,003,520 euros. So there is something really going on there, and Norderstedt wants to use the opportunity to shine not only athletically but also financially.

NDR reports that the tension before the match increases. Football fans can look forward to an exciting duel in St. Pauli, while Eintracht Norderstedt will do everything they can to pull off a surprise in the important clash.
