Eintracht Braunschweig: Cup duel against Stuttgart already in sight!

Eintracht Braunschweig has been preparing intensively for the coming season recently. The team has already completed its first training sessions with new coach Heiner Backhaus in order to be prepared for the challenges in the second Bundesliga. The season starts in a month and not only training but also the planning of test matches is being pushed forward. A key highlight of the coming season is participation in the DFB Cup, where Eintracht will face VfB Stuttgart right at the start.

The first DFB Cup game will take place on Tuesday, August 26th at 8:45 p.m. in the Eintracht Stadium. This exciting game will also be broadcast live on free TV by ARD. Ticket information will be announced via social media in a timely manner so that all fans have the chance to support their team. After Eintracht Braunschweig has been unable to survive in the first or second round of the cup in the last nine years, the prospect of the game against Stuttgart is a welcome opportunity to end their long drought.

The cup history of Eintracht

Eintracht's last successful DFB Cup season was some time ago. In the 1989/90 season the team made it to the semi-finals, where they lost 2-0 to Werder Bremen. This memory of successful days certainly motivates the players and the new coach Heiner Backhaus to overcome the coming challenges with vigor.

More about the 2nd Bundesliga

Eintracht has needed a good hand in recent times to get promoted from the second Bundesliga. This league, which has seen a steady rise since its introduction by the DFB in 1974, can look back on a colorful history. A total of 128 clubs have played in the league so far and attendance has increased in recent years. In the 2023/24 season, the clubs enjoyed almost 8.9 million viewers.

What is particularly noteworthy is that FC Schalke 04 is setting new records in the current season with an average attendance of over 61,500 per home game. This positive development shows that the second division is very popular not only on the pitch, but also in stadium life. Eintracht not only has to pay attention to their sporting performance, but also to inspiring the audience - both in the DFB Cup and in the league.

Since the reform in 1981, the 2nd Bundesliga has played as a single division with 20 clubs, which offers the teams an exciting competitive situation. Eintracht Braunschweig is determined to cause a stir in the DFB Cup in the new season and perhaps even write a new success story.

Stay tuned for more information on ticket sales and how the season progresses. Eintracht has started preparations and the fans are looking forward to returning to the stands.
