The Supercup 2024: More than just a title fight
On August 17, 2024, an interesting and long -awaited encounter will be held in football: the Supercup between Bayer Leverkusen and VfB Stuttgart takes place. While the viewers are looking forward to the game, not only discusses the outcome of the match, but also about the importance of the supercup itself.
is being worked on the value of the supercup
In recent years there have been critical voices for the relevance of this competition. Some fans find the Supercup not very important, maybe even as a "fair cup". Nevertheless, it is important for those responsible for the two clubs, especially for coach Sebastian Hoeneß and Bayer Leverkusen's coach Xabi Alonso, to present this title as a serious competition.
"It is not a test game, it is an official competitive game. In addition, an official trophy and an official title are awarded," said Hoeneß before the game. The game is also the last one before the start of the Bundesliga, which increases its importance.
innovations in the focus
For the German Football League (DFL), the Supercup is also used as a platform for technical innovations. Among other things, the so-called "Ball-EKG" is used for the first time in a national competition. This technology serves to record ball touches in detail and has already been successfully used at the European Championship.
In addition, there are cameras on the team buses and in the cabins. Also new is the use of a “refcam” that is worn by the referee and thus captures the game from a new perspective. Such technical innovations could soon become part of the Bundesliga, starting in the 2025/26 season.
sense of community through football
The upcoming encounter not only has sporting, but also social relevance for the region. The Supercup gathers fan facilities, brings people together and strengthens the sense of community. The local pride and the rivalry between the clubs create a special atmosphere that goes far beyond the field.
The fans from Leverkusen and Stuttgart will passionately support their teams. The anticipation for the game is noticeable, and the residents of both cities are excited to see which club can take home the first title of the new season.
a look ahead
The questions about the relevance of the supercup and the various innovations make the reporting on the game particularly exciting. No matter which team the game ultimately gains, the discussions and the technological development could have long -term effects on sports culture in Germany.
Bayer Leverkusen and VfB Stuttgart stand not only for a sporty duel, but also for an opportunity to combine the tradition and innovation in German football.
