Test match hit in Memmingen: FC Augsburg against FC Memmingen on Friday!

Tomorrow it will be exciting in Memmingen! At 5 p.m. FC Augsburg, who are playing in the Bundesliga for the 14th time this season, will take on regional league team FC Memmingen. This game will take place in the Memmingen Football Arena, which could quickly become an attraction for football fans, as around 3,000 spectators are expected - that is more than twice as many as the average number of visitors in the regional league games with only 970 fans. If that's not reason enough to secure your ticket!

The ticket prices are extremely attractive: standing room costs 10 euros (reduced 8 euros, children 5 euros), while the coveted seats are already sold out. Part of the FC Augsburg fan shop campaign will also be on site to provide fans with fan items and to greatly lift the mood.

A breath of fresh air on the sidelines

The new coach Sandro Wagner, who was previously assistant coach of the German national team, has a lot of fresh ideas with him after the change of Jess Thorup, who last season had the best points average in the club's history (1.26 points per game). Although the 35-year-old has no Bundesliga coaching experience, his team impressively showed what they can do in their first friendly against TSV Gersthofen: FCA won 9-0.

It will be important for the Duisburg fans to know that the new signings Han-Noah Massengo (from FC Burnley), Robin Fellhauer (from SV Elversberg), Kyliane Dong (from ES Troyes AC) and Elias Saad (from FC St. Pauli) will do everything they can to secure relegation and maybe even more. Henri Koudossou, who played for FC Memmingen's A-Juniors in 2017/2018, will also celebrate his return. The squad is also enriched by young talents such as Kerim Yaman (19) and Noahkai Banks (18).

Test game to determine your position

For FC Memmingen, the upcoming test match represents an important assessment of the situation before the new season in the regional league starts. Club president Andreas Minkenberg will certainly keep an ear out for the fans and use the opportunity to talk about the club's development.

FC Augsburg's next test match is just around the corner. On Friday, July 25th, two matches will be played in Dillingen with third division club Rot-Weiß Essen. All eyes are now on tomorrow's duel in Memmingen - will FCA be able to carry the momentum from their first test into this game?

Following this exciting preparation for the season, the FCA is also looking forward to the first day of competitive games: on August 17th they will face Hallescher FC in the DFB Cup, followed by the start of the Bundesliga against SC Freiburg in the last days of August. If you are now curious and don't want to miss a game, tickets for the upcoming games will of course continue to be advertised. Let the kicking begin!
