Cup format and rules

The district cup is not only a stage for local talent, but also part of the broader WFV Cup 2025/26, which is now in its 74th edition. As Wikipedia reports, the competition will be anything but boring with 109 participating teams from various leagues, including the 3rd league and Regionalliga Südwest. The first draw took place on July 2, 2025 in Stuttgart.

A total of 108 games will be played, and from the round of 16 onwards things will be played across the association. Particularly noteworthy is the home advantage of teams lower in the league, which can provide additional incentives. There are byes in several groups, including the Stuttgarter Kickers and SSV Ulm 1846, which only makes the competition even more exciting.

A look back at last year's competition

Last year, SC Staig triumphed with a narrow 1-0 win in the final against TSV Neu-Ulm after Finn Annabring scored the decisive penalty goal. A moment of hero worship that will certainly be remembered fondly by all fans. The coming competition promises to be at least as dramatic.

Overall, every encounter in the Donau/Iller District Cup is given great importance and the teams are ready to give their best. The starting shot will be fired soon and everyone involved is excited to see what surprises the competition has in store. The first games of the first round are just the beginning - and all football enthusiasts are invited to follow every goal, every parade and every exciting duel. The anticipation is increasing!
