Magdeburg against Leipzig: DFB Cup heat ignited in the round of 16!
Things will get serious for FC Magdeburg and RB Leipzig on November 2nd, 2025, as the draw for the round of 16 of the DFB Cup is imminent. These two teams last played against each other in the regional league in 2013, and back then the FCM could only record one win from a total of six meetings in the fourth division. But there is a lot to gain for the Magdeburgers and Leipzigers before the upcoming encounter.
How MDR reported, both clubs have already received bonuses amounting to 1,483,202 euros each. If things are successful, they could look forward to a slightly increased contract amount totaling almost eleven million euros if they reach the final in the Berlin Olympic Stadium, which is scheduled for May 23, 2026. A bonus of 4.32 million euros awaits you for winning the title alone.
The challenges in the cup
FC Magdeburg was able to score a point against RB in Leipzig in 2011, which is one of the few bright spots in their record so far. The confrontation between the two teams in the cup could turn into a real fight, because anything is possible in the cup. The quarter-finals are already scheduled for early and mid-February 2026, followed by the semi-finals in April.
The Magdeburgers know that they have to assert themselves with a strong performance against Leipzig in order to reach the next round. The previous duels have shown that this encounter was always a tough one for FC Magdeburg. In recent years, RB Leipzig has also seen some great talents who can often make the difference in the professional game.
A look at the rewards
The German Football Association's bonuses have been increased slightly compared to the previous year, which is particularly advantageous for the losing teams who still want to advance through good performances and sometimes unexpected games. A successful performance in the DFB Cup can not only raise the pride of the fans, but also significantly improve the financial situation of the clubs.
In times of economic challenges when many clubs rely on the support of their supporters, the DFB Cup could make the difference for FC Magdeburg. It will be more interesting than ever for fans to experience the atmosphere of the duel with RB Leipzig and feel the chance of a cup fight live in the stadium.
