Energy Cottbus starts training hot: newcomers and returnees inspire fans!

Cottbus, Deutschland - The summer break is over and FC Energie Cottbus starts again! On June 22, 2025, the team started preparing for the new season 2025/26 in the 3rd division in over 30 degrees Celsius. Around 100 fans came to the start of training to follow the first units of the players. The euphoria is noticeable and the expectations are high, especially after the first intensive training session that started on the ball with exciting forms of play. The head coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz was also on site and watched the exercises with a critical eye.

This year the team has strengthened with eight newcomers and three test players are also in the squad. The newcomer Nyamekye Awortwie-Grant, which picked up directly to the water bottle before starting the unit, falls into the eye. In addition, the talented Theo Ogbidi and Moritz Hannemann, who trains individually after an injury, are already involved. Among the new faces, Lukas Michelbrink, who changes from Hertha BSC on a rental base, and Jannis Boziais, who comes from Astoria Walldorf, is also among the new faces.

The squad has a total age of 25.4 years and has a total market value of 4.60 million euros. Especially in midfield, where the average age is 24.1 years old and the market value is 1.63 million euros, the team has a lot of potential to properly start in the 3rd league.

However, this transfer balance could still change, since those responsible are still interested in potential newcomers to further strengthen the team and optimize the squad.
