Fortuna Babelsberg after a bitter false start: descent to the Landesliga!

Babelsberg, Deutschland - On May 31, 2025, Fortuna Babelsberg had to accept the bitter descent to the Landesliga after two seasons in the Brandenburg League. In a crucial game on matchday 28, the team lost 0: 3 against the TSG unit Bernau. The goals for Bernau scored Maik Gragert in the 3rd minute and Adrian Evers in the 17th minute, followed by Frederick Fiebig, who made the final score in the 48th minute. With only 21 points from 28 games and 28 goals, Fortuna provides the weakest offensive in the league. [ maz-online.de

coach Kai Möbius expressed mixed feelings after the descent and described the situation as an emotional moment. Despite the disappointment, he looks optimistically into the future and sees the coming season in the Landesliga as an opportunity for planning. He emphasizes that a large part of the squad is ready to continue to fight for Fortuna Babelsberg. He also blames the years of experience with a very young team that was competitive in many games. Möbius is convinced that the early descent is advantageous for the squad planning, compared to the previous year.

challenges and changes

The second half of the season was not optimal for Fortuna Babelsberg. A lack of consistency and individual mistakes led to avoidable goals. This was a problem, especially in crucial games. Möbius found that the offensive and the exploitation of opportunities will have to be improved in order to be more successful in the coming season. Intensive winter preparation should focus, among other things, on defensive stability and physical fitness.

ktrotz of the challenges remains clear: the focus is on relegation in the Landesliga. The team plans to collect points in direct duels against the competition and strengthen their mentality. The coming season will also bring new personnel changes, including the new addition of Adrian Hinrichs as an offensive player. [ maz-online.de

sustainable perspectives

The Brandenburg League, in which Fortuna Babelsberg is now relocating, has changed steadily in recent decades. The league was founded in 1990 and today it is the sixth division in Germany. SV 1908 Grün-Weiß Ahrensfelde became the champions of the 2024/25 season. Historically, the 1st FC Frankfurt is a record winner with four titles. The competition remains both challenging and exciting with the league structure, which is influenced annually by ascent and descent as well as changes in the composition.

Fortuna Babelsberg will have to mobilize all forces to assert themselves in the Landesliga and maybe soon play a serious role again. Coach Kai Möbius is determined to initiate a positive development with his team and to inspire fans again in the coming year.
