Altbach replaces Scharnhausen: A new cup dream begins!

SC Altbach is taking an exciting turn in amateur football, now replacing TSV Scharnhausen in the popular EZ football cup. The start of the tournament, which takes place from July 30th to August 2nd at VfB Reichenbach, already promises plenty of excitement. Altbach will face FV Neuhausen, TV Nellingen and TSV RSK Esslingen in Group D. A strong line-up, as TSV Scharnhausen had originally qualified, but canceled their participation after a narrow defeat of 2:3 against VfB Oberesslingen/Zell for the promotion relegation.

Team manager Robin Prokein is very happy about the move up, who proudly announced that Altbach will be represented in the cup for the second time after 2023. The field of 16 teams was quickly filled, which shows how popular this tournament is. Four teams even found themselves on the waiting list. SC Altbach recently celebrated promotion back to the district league A and sees itself in a challenging group.

New beginning for Altbach

A new beginning is also the focus at SC Altbach. After two relegations in the football district league B, season 1, the team would like to get started again under coach Aydin Kisakol. The coach emphasizes how important it is that the team comes together well. With numerous new additions, SC Altbach is heading into the coming season ambitiously and is aiming to be at the top.

There are other interesting developments in the district league. TSV Wolfschlägen, like Altbach, will return to the B league as relegated, but is aiming for promotion again. Their coach, Ivan Aralo, is committed to regaining the fun of football. There are also innovations at TV Deizisau II. Under the new coach Jugsi Lukic, the potential of the young players is to be promoted, while TSV RSK Esslingen II is hoping for a strong comeback with a third place finish last season.

Statistics in amateur football

An exciting aspect of amateur football is the growing relevance of data analysis. More and more clubs are realizing that statistical evaluations can help improve game strategies. FC Midtjylland in Denmark has already successfully implemented the so-called Moneyball principle. Player signings based on detailed data analyzes have led to several championships there. The use of statistics is also possible in amateur sports, even if it is more complex.

In order to optimize their own performance, clubs can use simple analyzes such as recording goal times. Statistics provided via platforms such as fussball.de help to gain insights into strengths and weaknesses in the game.

The coming weeks will show how SC Altbach will fare in the cup and whether the team can make a successful new beginning. The fans can be excited!
