Dynamo Dresden: First endurance test against SV Ried live from Austria!

Dynamo Dresden: First endurance test against SV Ried live from Austria!

What is brewing at Dynamo Dresden? The team celebrated promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga in May 2025 and is now in the middle of intensive preparation for the coming season. The players are currently in the training camp in Windischgarsten, Austria, where they have optimal conditions - even if the weather doesn't always cooperate. Heavy rain has made the training sessions difficult, but spirits remain strong as the team work energetically on their fitness and practice new game strategies. Südwest24 reports that the focus is on integrating new players and preparing for the upcoming season.

The first tough test is on the program on Saturday, July 5, 2025: Dynamo Dresden meets the Austrian first division club SV Oberbank Ried. The game starts at 4 p.m. and will be played in two halves of 60 minutes each. The game will be broadcast live on Dynamo TV and YouTube, allowing you to follow the action from home. Loud Day24 The summer preparation has already produced promising results, with two test matches won and a total of 21 goals scored.

Training and team building

In the training camp, which lasts from June 29th to July 6th, 2025, the players will not only work on their technique, but also on team spirit. A team building activity involving rafting brought a breath of fresh air into the community. The team's arrival in Windischgarsten after a seven-hour bus journey was the start of an intensive training program that took place both on the pitch and in the gym. In addition to goal-scoring training and football tennis, pressing situations were also on the agenda. On July 4th, training continued despite heavy rain and the players took a photo together for the fans. Tipico highlights that Alexander Zickler, a former Bundesliga player, observed the training sessions of his adopted son Jakob Zickler, who also plays for Dynamo.

The preparations for the test games are extraordinary: an autonomous robot draws the lines on the field. Meanwhile, the team has to be careful not just to stay fit on the pitch. For example, Niklas Hauptmann was unable to take part in training after an appendectomy. Speaking of health: the fire department even had to remove a colony of bees from the scoreboard to ensure a safe training environment.

The next steps

After the friendly against SV Ried, further games are already planned, including a duel against SK Slavia Prague on July 13th and participation in the Volkswagen Cup against FSV Zwickau and VfL Wolfsburg on July 20th. All of these games serve to fine-tune the team for the start of the season in the 2nd Bundesliga, which is scheduled for the beginning of August 2025. Thomas Stamm, the coach of Dynamo Dresden, has a clear eye on the preparation and is working intensively on the new players, such as Alexander Rossipal, who is coming from F.C. on a free transfer. Hansa Rostock has moved to integrate into the team. We can only hope that the rain will end soon and the team can train undisturbed.
