RB Leipzig tests a new squad: benefit game against Meuselwitz on Saturday!

On Saturday, July 19, 2025, RB Leipzig has the opportunity to present himself in a benefit game against the fourth division team ZFC Meuselwitz. The game takes place at 3:30 p.m. in the Bluechip Arena, which is known for its special atmosphere and the closeness of the spectators to the field. Not only football fans can look forward to an exciting duel, because the proceeds of the game benefit a good cause.

Meuselwitz President Hubert Wolf expects income between 130,000 and 150,000 euros to finance the construction of a new athletics building for young people in Meuselwitz. "The game already covers the own share for the project," said Wolf optimistic. The further amount of 100,000 euros is supplemented by funding. This benefit game is not only a great opportunity for the club, but also part of the anniversary year "75 years of ZFC Meuselwitz".

A first test for Ole Werner and his team

For the new coach Ole Werner from RB Leipzig, this encounter is an important opportunity to get to know the team better and implement the newly developed tactical concepts. After an intensive training week, Leipzig focused on active game against the ball and quick switchover behavior. Unfortunately, some key players such as Timo Werner, André Silva, Eljif Elmas and Kevin Kampl have to do without the use in the benefit game due to injuries or other backgrounds.

The newcomer Andrija Maksimovic will not be able to play either because it is not fit due to training residues. Nevertheless, there is already a high demand for tickets: over 3,500 tickets have been sold in advance and the tendency is rising. Wolf hopes that the Meuselwitzer will come out of this game with fewer than six goals.

RB Leipzig in form

Preparation for this game could hardly have gone better. RB Leipzig had previously success in a UEFA Champions League game against Benfica and won 2-1, with Timo Werner scored two goals. In this game, the team proved that they are both strong in the duels and in cooperation. Peter Gulacsi, the goalkeeper, kept the game open in the first half with numerous parades.

The RB Leipzig responsible already promised their participation in the benefit game in October 2024, which also increases the anticipation for the appearance in Meuselwitz. The preparations are in full swing, and the entire club looks forward to this important test game.

• Date and time: July 19, 2025, 3:30 p.m.
• event location: Bluechip-Arena, Meuselwitz
• card price: is based on regular regional regional league tickets

Overall, the benefit game not only promises to become an exciting football event, but also an important step for the local community in Meuselwitz, which is preparing for the construction of a new training building. The RB Leipzig team will do well to adapt to the anticipation of the fans and convince with a strong appearance. For the ZFC Meuselwitz it is also a dress rehearsal before the league start a week later.
