Flood of goals and crowdfunding: 1. FC Lok Leipzig inspires in Leipzig-Eutritzsch!

On July 5, 2025, a very special friendly match took place in Leipzig-Eutritzsch to mark the club's anniversary of SG Rotation 1950. The regional league champions 1. FC Lok Leipzig were guests, and the atmosphere was characterized by curiosity and support. Over 1,100 spectators flocked to the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn Kampfsportbahn to support their team in this only pre-season appearance.

SG Rotation 1950 had previously invested 8,000 euros in a crowdfunding campaign by 1. FC Lok. This commitment impressively shows how important crowdfunding is for supporting sports projects. Platforms like FAIRPLAID SPORTS support clubs through financing options and strengthening their networks. With such campaigns, supporters can not only provide financial resources, but also contribute to the club's awareness and build long-term partnerships.

A goal-rich spectacle

The game itself was a true spectacle: the Lok Leipzig team demolished their opponents with a clear 11-0 and caused a lot of enthusiasm among the fans. They were already leading 6-0 at half-time, and Stefan Maderer contributed four goals to the success. After the final whistle, Lok coach Jürgen Seitz was extremely satisfied with the performance of his players and the audience response.

The friendly game not only provided entertainment, but also a valuable opportunity for the SG Rotation 1950 to play against a higher class opponent. Daniel Ferl, Rotation's sporting director, expressed his delight at this experience, which can be of great benefit to his players.

Preparations for the season

1. FC Lok Leipzig is facing important challenges. The team still needs three to four players, including an attacking winger and a central defender. A center player is also being sought to further strengthen the team for the coming season. On Monday the team will go to the training camp in Sternberg, where there will be another test match against the second representative of Hamburger SV.

Test matches are particularly important in preparing for the upcoming season, and they provide both professional and amateur teams with the opportunity to find their form and test players. Since friendlies tend to be intense, they have a high value, especially in amateur football, where teams often look for lower level opponents to optimize coordination and tactics in the game.
