Newcomer Diehl inspires in the training camp of Rot-Weiß Erfurt!

Weißensee, Österreich - The preparations for the upcoming third division season are in full swing. Since Monday, July 7th, FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt has been in the training camp in Weißensee, Austria. Trainer Fabian Gerber and his team are determined to start the new season optimally and have made some personnel changes.

One of the most exciting new additions is Laurenz Diehl, who has been hired free of charge and has now signed a contract by 2027. The 24-year-old has a versatile experience: after completing his training at the 1st FC Union Berlin, he played for Halleschen FC, Bohemian FC in Ireland and for Viktoria Berlin in the Regionalliga Nordost and Austria Klagenfurt in the Austrian Bundesliga. Trainer Gerber emphasizes that Diehl acts technically strongly and dynamically, which gives the defensive of the team additional variability.

a new addition to a rental base

In addition to Diehl, Tino Kaufmann, a talented offensive player, will join the team. Kaufmann comes on a loan from VfB Stuttgart II, where he has already completed three missions this season. The 19-year-old, who feels most comfortable on the right wing, shows promising approaches, especially after his 14 missions in the second half of the season of last season at VSG Altglienicke, where he prepared two goals. Gerber emphasizes Kaufmann's talent and his experience from the regional league northeast, which could be of great value for the team's offensive.

Unfortunately there is also a departure to report: Dominic Duncan left FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt after a mutually acceptable termination of the contract. His contract, originally running until summer 2026, was terminated prematurely. Duncan comes to a total of 17 missions this season, and it remains to be seen where the talented player is now drawn.

The training camp and test games

The training week in Weißensee still lasts until July 10th, during this time there are several training sessions. For the fans of FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt, there is the opportunity to experience the team live on July 12th at the first test game against SG Baroque-Lehnerz. The anticipation for the coming season is large in the team and the supporters, and everyone hopes for a successful season.

With new faces and a clear focus on the third division season, FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt has an exciting summer ahead of them. In the coming weeks, it will be shown in the coming weeks whether the newcomers can quickly turn on and how the team develops. However, the signs are good that the Erfurters are on the right track.
