St. Pauli vs. Norderstedt: Neighborhood duel in the DFB Cup!

On June 15, 2025, there is an exciting neighborhood duel in the DFB Cup that inspires fans in northern Germany: FC St. Pauli meets Eintracht Norderstedt. This match was transferred live on ZDF from the famous Millerntor Stadium, with the 100-meter sprint star Owen looked at the draw for this special encounter. As is well known, the two teams are in a relationship that is characterized by mutual respect and commitment in regional football.

Eintracht Norderstedt, as a fourth division and Hamburg cup winner, has already made headlines recently. In May they triumphed in a nerve-wracking penalty thriller against USC Paloma and thus demonstrated their willingness to fight and determine. Norderstedt, which completed the regional league season as a twelfth table, will do everything possible to achieve the best result against the Kiez kickers, especially because they were already competing against the U23 of St. Pauli this season.

renovation backlog in the stadium

The Edmund-Plambeck Stadium, which is usually the home for Norderstedt, suffers from a significant renovation backlog, which means that only 1500 of the 5000 places can be used. For this reason, the game could possibly take place in the FC St. Pauli stadium. Those responsible for the association from Norderstedt have also considered other possible venues, including the Holstein Stadium in Kiel and the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg.

The duel receives a special note from the players who have mutual roots. St. Pauli player Elias Saad will compete against his former club, while Ersin Zehir and Luis Coordes from Norderstedt also have a common past in the neighborhood. The Norderstedter are trained by Elard Ostermann, who previously supervised St. Pauli's U23 team.

atmospheric starting

The anticipation for this duel is great, and sports director Andreas Bornemann from St. Pauli expressed his enthusiasm over the closeness to the fan who bring such games. The competition for the DFB Cup goes beyond the sporting aspects and promotes the sense of community in football.

The fans of the two clubs can look forward to an exciting game. Who will keep the upper hand in the end? St. Pauli, with his ambitious goals, or Eintracht Norderstedt, who will do everything possible in the Underdog role to achieve the next round of the trophy?
