St. Pauli vs. Norderstedt: Neighborhood duel in the DFB Cup!
On June 15, 2025, there will be an exciting duel in the DFB Cup that will delight fans in northern Germany: FC St. Pauli meets Eintracht Norderstedt. This match was broadcast live on ZDF from the famous Millerntor Stadium, with 100 meter sprint star Owen Ansah conducting the draw for this special encounter. As is well known, the two teams have a relationship characterized by mutual respect and a commitment to regional football.
Eintracht Norderstedt, as a fourth division team and Hamburg Cup winner, has already made headlines recently. In May, they triumphed in a nail-biting penalty shootout against USC Paloma, demonstrating their fighting spirit and determination. Norderstedt, which finished the Regionalliga season in twelfth place, will do everything in its power to achieve the best result against the Kiez-Kicker, especially because they have already played twice against St. Pauli's U23s this season.
Renovation backlog in the stadium
The Edmund Plambeck Stadium, which is normally the home of Norderstedt, is suffering from a significant renovation backlog, which means that only 1,500 of the 5,000 seats can be used. For this reason, the game could possibly take place at the FC St. Pauli stadium. Those responsible for the club from Norderstedt have also considered other possible venues, including the Holstein Stadium in Kiel and the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg.
The duel gets a special touch from the players who have mutual roots. St. Pauli player Elias Saad will face his former club, while Ersin Zehir and Luis Coordes from Norderstedt also have a shared history in the neighborhood. The Norderstedters are coached by Elard Ostermann, who previously looked after the St. Pauli U23 team.
Atmospheric setting
The anticipation for this duel is great, and sports director Andreas Bornemann from St. Pauli expressed his enthusiasm about the fan closeness that such games bring with them. The competition for the DFB Cup goes beyond the sporting aspects and promotes a sense of community in football.
The fans of both clubs can look forward to an exciting game. Who will have the upper hand in the end? St. Pauli, with its ambitious goals, or Eintracht Norderstedt, who will do everything in their underdog role to reach the next round of the cup? mopo.de and kicker.de keep readers up to date on everything worth knowing about this exciting encounter.
