Eintracht Braunschweig in the DFB Cup: serve against VfB Stuttgart!

Eintracht Braunschweig is facing an exciting time as preparation for the new season has already begun. The new coach Heiner Backhaus has started his first training sessions and is bringing a breath of fresh air into the men from the former Bundesliga club. Test matches are being planned so that the team can start the upcoming second division season well prepared, which will start in about a month. The focus is particularly on the DFB Cup, where Eintracht will face none other than VfB Stuttgart in the first round, the reigning cup winners.

The duel will take place on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, at 8:45 p.m. in the Eintracht Stadium, Hamburger Straße. As is appropriate, the official ticket information will be announced in good time via social media. The timing was set by the DFB, although the date differs from the usual cup weekend due to VfB Stuttgart's Supercup appearance. This information was confirmed by Eintracht.com.

History in the DFB Cup

Eintracht will do everything they can to get past the first or second round this cup season. This has not been possible in the last nine years, which should give both those responsible and the fans pause. The last successful cup season was a while ago, namely in the 1989/90 season, when the team made it to the semi-finals and was only eliminated from the competition there against Werder Bremen with a score of 2-0. Hopefully the past failure in the first rounds will not be repeated!

Coach Heiner Backhaus has already started intensively preparing for the cup game. The team is motivated and training will be crucial to how they perform in this prestigious competition.

Prepared for the audience

As always when it comes to the DFB Cup, the television station ARD will also broadcast the game on free TV so that fans can enjoy the excitement at home. It remains to be seen whether Eintracht will make it to the next round this time. Many eyes will be on Braunschweig's performance and the support from the stands will certainly play a role.

Stay tuned for more information and updates! The Eintracht Brasunschweig community is eagerly awaiting what the next period will bring us. The current status is always available directly via social media. Also follow the information from Kicker for news about the game.
