FCM meets Saarbrücken: Brünker duel in the DFB Cup!

The anticipation in Magdeburg could hardly be greater: The 1. FC Magdeburg meets 1. FC Saarbrücken in the first main round of the DFB Cup. The draw took place on Sunday in the German Football Museum in Dortmund, moderated by Lili Engels. Losfee was the talented 100-meter sprinter Owen. The encounters are held between August 15 and 18, 2025, while games on August 28th and 29th are scheduled for the participants of the Supercup.

The 1st FC Magdeburg has made a name for itself over the past few years and has now been able to land in a profitopf for the third time in a row - a pot that includes all Bundesliga clubs and the 14 best placed second division team of the previous season. In contrast, the Saarbrücken, who missed the promotion to the 2nd league in the relegation against Eintracht Braunschweig last season, only appeared as a strong cup team last year. Saarbrücken reached the semi -finals with victories against well -known opponents such as FC Bayern Munich, Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Mönchengladbach and can thus present themselves as a serious challenger.

a meeting with history

A special focus will be on Kai Brünker in the duel. The former player of the 1st FC Magdeburg will now return to the field for 1. FC Saarbrücken. During his time in Magdeburg from 2020 to 2023, he quickly became a crowd favorite and his return is eagerly awaited. Florian Krüger is also traded under the current events as a possible new addition to the FCM. So could it be that the paths of the two teams also meet on the transfer list?

Otmar Schork, Managing Director Sport of 1. FC Magdeburg, sees the lot as one of the most difficult tasks, but he looks optimistic about the upcoming duel. He expects an exciting game at eye level, although the Magdeburgers made a lot after the end of Kickers Offenbach in the previous season. There are not only sporting, but also financial incentives that should also motivate the players.
