Schweinfurt in the DFB Cup: Historic duel against Fortuna Düsseldorf!
August 11, 2025 will go down in the history books in Schweinfurt! The new DFB Cup season begins on this day and 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 faces a very special challenge. The team is playing against Fortuna Düsseldorf in the 3rd league for the first time and wants to make an impression right at the start of the main round. After an impressive last season in which Schweinfurt recorded 21 wins and 5 draws, fans can hope for the performances of their team, which achieved first place in the Regionalliga Bayern with a total of 68 points. Here you can find reporting from Mainpost about the upcoming game.
Coach Victor Kleinhenz and his team will come onto the pitch in the Riedel Bau Arena on Monday, August 18, 2025, at 6 p.m. Here they will face former Bundesliga club Fortuna Düsseldorf, who finished sixth in the 2nd Bundesliga last season.

A look into the past
The duel between 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 and Fortuna Düsseldorf has historical significance as it is the first meeting between the two clubs. While Düsseldorf boasts two DFB Cup victories in the 1970s (1978/79 and 1979/80), Schweinfurt's best results in the DFB Cup were reaching the semi-finals in 1936 against Schalke 04. An exciting story that only makes the anticipation even greater!
Speaking of anticipation: Unfortunately, the game will not be broadcast on free TV. Football fans have to be prepared to watch the match exclusively on Sky and in the live stream via WOW. Although ARD and ZDF are showing a total of 15 selected DFB Cup games, the game between Schweinfurt and Düsseldorf is not among them. So all that remains is to hope for the summaries on the public broadcasters!
So there are plenty of reasons to watch this game. With a breath of fresh air and a lot of enthusiasm, 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 will do everything they can to put pressure on their opponents from Düsseldorf. Who knows, maybe it will be an unforgettable evening for the Schweinfurt fans.
