FCM test games: joy for heated duels against red-white and chemnitz!

Magdeburg, Deutschland - On Friday and Saturday, an exciting football weekend is on the program for the 1st FC Magdeburg. Two test games are planned that not only put the form of the team to the test, but also bring the culinary enjoyment of football in the Avnet Arena and at Chemnitz FC. The Magdeburg team will compete against Rot-Weiss Essen on Friday at 2 p.m. before going to Chemnitz FC on Saturday at 4 p.m. The latter game takes place in the stadium on Gellertstraße.

Rot-Weiss Essen, founded in 1907, can look back on a proud history. With a DFB Cup victory in 1953 and the 1955 championship, the association is very popular. Head coach Uwe Koschinat, in office since December 2024, will lead his protégés to the field at the test game as a summer training camp in Wesendorf. Assistant coach Dominik Ernst, a former FCM player, will support him. Not to forget: Ahmet Arslan, also ex-FCM player, tears the threads in the game.
