DJK Vornbach vs. 1. FC Passau: Derby with thrills and record scenery!
On Tuesday evening at 6:30 p.m., the local soccer teams DJK Vornbach and 1.FC Passau will meet in the long-awaited derby of the Central Regional League. Martin Ruhhammer, the president of Vornbach, has already marked out the parking areas for the expected spectators. The anticipation for the game is immense, not least because there are no other games taking place in the area so far and an above-average number of spectators of up to 1,000 people is forecast. According to heimatsport.de, the derby could go according to the fans' taste.
The atmosphere in Vornbach could hardly be better: the team has impressed in the last few games and has been unbeaten in three games. A few days ago, on Friday, they scored with a strong 3-0 home win against SpVgg Lam. The team, coached by Heiko Schwarz, is currently in very solid form - the fans are particularly impressed by their high level of ball security and the creative solutions in the game. “We definitely want to collect points to stay in the league,” said Schwarz in a short interview. This is particularly important as Vornbach currently sits on 8 points in the table and is looking right over the shoulder of 1.FC Passau with 7 points.
Home strength and derby fever
In the past two years, DJK Vornbach has not lost a single home game; their last defeat was on September 2, 2023 against SpVgg Niederalteich. Defense chief and team manager Thomas Schacherbauer emphasizes that the home game atmosphere is always another motivating factor. Home games usually attract at least 250 spectators, but given the derby there could be significantly more this time, even if parking spaces at the sports facility are limited.
“No matter how strong the opponent is – for us derby means giving everything!” Schacherbauer continued, although he was optimistic that the team could manage to stay in the league even without major injuries. For this duel, Passau coach Krisztian Beregszaszi changed the starting eleven from the last game in order to minimize the risk of injury to his top performers.
Interestingly, Vornbach are in focus at the moment as they were described by Passau's coach as the strongest of the five promoted teams. While Vornbach enjoyed a well-deserved rest, Passau only had to take a quick breather before heading into the derby after a 2-1 defeat against Burglengenfeld on Sunday. Thanks to these different circumstances, the Vornbachers hope to further strengthen their home fortress.

The rankings for the Central Regional League currently look like this:
| Place | team | Points |

The latest results and the signs suggest that the derby is not just about points, but also about prestige and pride. However, onlookers and football fans who want to follow the action live in the Vornbach stadium should arrive early, as the number of spectators could exceed all expectations. Vornbach has positioned itself well in the table and will do everything in its power to continue this positive series.
