For the fans, this means that they can follow the games in a spellbound manner, with all games being directly related to the strict security requirements. These rules extend not only to the schedules, but also to the general infrastructure of the stadiums, as noted by Liga3-News. The minimum requirements that stadiums must meet include, among other things, a capacity of at least 5,000 seats and uniform floodlighting. Such guidelines are crucial to ensure that the Games can be held under difficult conditions.

Furthermore, the stadiums must be available for all third division games and should have the necessary facilities for fans, media and game security. These requirements are particularly important for smaller clubs, which can be supported in their sports development.

Aside from the regular league, there will be a test match against 1. FC Magdeburg on Friday, July 18th. A double test at FC Augsburg follows on July 25th. These preparatory games are important in order to optimally prepare the team for the upcoming challenges and at the same time refine the tactics. The DFB Cup will kick off on Monday, August 18th, when RWE will host Borussia Dortmund. A real cracker!

So the next few weeks look like a lot of football for Rot-Weiss Essen, and all football fans in the region! Be it in the league or the cup, it remains exciting and the fans can look forward to many exciting encounters.
