TSV 1860 Munich in the cup: Now it counts! Turnaround required!
The sports world in Munich revolves around TSV 1860 again. On November 12, 2025, the fan base is looking forward to the upcoming cup game against TSV Aubstadt with hope. As the Lions work passionately through the ups and downs of their season, the question arises: Can this trophy be the path to sporting rehabilitation?
Captain Thore Jacobsen and central defender Max Reinthaler recently commented on the team's situation. They are under pressure because an impressive win against league leaders FC Energie Cottbus was quickly followed by a bitter 4-0 defeat against SSV Jahn Regensburg. These fluctuations lead fans to express their frustration loudly, such as on the drive back after the derby. Reinthaler emphasizes that the attributes that were missing in the derby must be shown in the upcoming cup game. Jacobsen sees the challenge as an opportunity to quickly forget the bitter defeat and speaks of a possible turnaround for the team. It is clear that the cup competition is of central importance for the Lions, especially since qualification for the DFB Cup via the league has become a long way off - eight points behind fourth place.
The path to the DFB Cup
TSV 1860 Munich did not qualify for the DFB Cup; this is now the third time in a row. To get back into the race, you need a victory in the Toto Cup. Last year wasn't exactly a lucky year for the Lions, who failed several times last season against regional league team FV Illertissen. This club, on the other hand, caused a sensation in the DFB Cup with a generous entry fee of 210,000 euros. The first round draws have already happened and show that the third division teams in the Bundesliga are waiting for their opponents, which only increases the excitement.
The “no-choice method” will also be used for the first rounds of the Toto Cup in the future, so that the district winners have the opportunity to choose their opponents. The planned date for the first round is mid to late July 2025, and the possible opponents for TSV 1860 are 22 district winners from different regions. The list is divided into numerous teams from Upper Bavaria to Lower Franconia:
| region | teams |
|---|---|
| Upper Bavaria | ASV Au, TSV Geiselbullach, FSV Harthof Munich, TV Münchsmünster |
| Lower Bavaria | TSV Karpfham, TSV Langquaid |
| Swabia | SG Alerheim, TSV Bobingen, SV Egg an der Günz |
| Upper Palatinate | SV Etzenricht, SV Schwarzhofen, FC Thalmassing |
| Upper Franconia | SC Reichmannsdorf, FC Vorwärts Röslau, TSV 1860 Staffelstein |
| Middle Franconia | FC Ezelsdorf, SpVgg Hüttenbach-Simmelsdorf, 1. FC Kalchreuth |
| Lower Franconia | 1. FC 06 Bad Kissingen, FC 1917 Gerolzhofen, TSV Großheubach, TSV 1846 Lohr |
The captains and fans are hoping that TSV 1860 Munich can go in the other direction with a strong performance in the cup game against Aubstadt. It remains exciting to see whether the Lions manage to bring the necessary strength and determination onto the pitch. The cup could be the key to a successful turnaround in this turbulent season for the club.
