The draw and its meaning
The draw, conducted by Owen Ansah, a well-known track and field star, is seen as crucial for the small clubs who often enjoy home advantage. This regulation is a great way to help amateur clubs compete against the big names.
Particularly noteworthy are the possible duels that take place in the first round. The foundation of football is looking forward to duels like Eintracht Braunschweig against Hannover 96 or Hansa Rostock against FC St. Pauli. Such encounters can often be a matter of the heart for the players and fans.
With an exciting year ahead of them, the clubs know that the DFB Cup is not just a sporting competition, but also a source of financial income that is of immense importance for many smaller clubs.
