Norderstedt is planning a DFB Cup game in the Millerntor Stadium: a surprise is required!

In an exciting development, Eintracht Norderstedt plans to play its first round game in the DFB Cup against FC St. Pauli at the Millerntor Stadium. President Julia Karsten-Plambeck made it clear that the in-house Edmund Plambeck Stadium, with only 5,000 seats, would simply be too small for this encounter. The first discussions between the two clubs about how the game will take place have already taken place and the anticipation is palpable.

St. Pauli's U23 plays together with Norderstedt, which further promotes cooperation between the clubs. However, Karsten-Plambeck emphasizes that the Millerntor Stadium must be free and St. Pauli's consent is required. The exact date for the game has not yet been set, but it is expected that the game could take place between August 15th and 18th.

The situation for Norderstedt

In the event of St. Pauli's rejection, Norderstedt could alternatively ask Hamburger SV to play the game at the Volksparkstadion. But sports director Frank Spitzer is optimistic and hopes for a surprise effect in the duel with the Kiezkickern. After all, a home game for Norderstedt is very convenient for St. Pauli, and the opportunity to play in front of their own crowd could give the regional league team an additional boost.

The importance of a game like this should not be underestimated, after all, you always want a run in the DFB Cup. As is well known, the competition has the potential to write short stories. In the past, many underdogs have caused a sensation and created unforgettable moments.
