Suhl loses Supercup and coach: Herpf celebrates second cup victory!
The Football Supercup took place in Dietzhausen on June 22, 2025, in which SG Herpf prevailed with a clear 2-0 win against 1. Suhler SV. The duel attracted 163 spectators who experienced an exciting game. But it wasn't just the result that caused excitement, but also the surprising separation from the coach of 1. Suhler SV, Markus Lauth, who said goodbye before the start of the game. A bitter setback for the team, which has faced several challenges this season.
With this success, SG Herpf celebrated its second cup victory in just seven days. They had previously won the Rhön-Rennsteig League Cup by triumphing in the final against SG SV Jüchsen on June 14, 2025. These successes are evidence of the team's strong form, which appears to be on the fast track at the moment. The pressure seems to motivate the team rather than throw them off track.
Cup problems and solutions
A curious detail caused a smile among those present: the cup had defects as beer leaked and formed a puddle on a table in the marquee. The cup winners reacted calmly to the mishap and quickly decided to drink faster! Humor and community spirit were definitely present at the award ceremony.
The Football Supercup, which has been held since 1987, has a long tradition in German football. Formerly known as the DFB Supercup, it has now been renamed the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup. This name change took place in December 2024 to honor the football legend's achievements. The record winner of the competition is FC Bayern Munich with ten titles, with the title holder not only being derived from the DFB Cup winner, but also from the German champion. If you win a double, the champion plays against the runner-up. Wikipedia adds that the trophy weighs over 6 kg and is worth around 40,000 euros.
The previous tournaments were already an indication of the popularity of the competition. After an interruption between 1997 and 2009, the competition was reactivated in 2010 and is now an integral part of season preparation. The broadcasting rights change regularly; Sat.1 is currently responsible for the live broadcast of the games.
In the near future we will certainly be keen to see how both 1. Suhler SV and SG Herpf develop. The mood within the teams will be crucial as they explore their path in the coming season. Football fever remains high and it remains to be seen what the next games will bring!
