St. Franziskus-Gymnasium Olpe becomes vice district champion in football!

What's going on in Olpe? The St. Franziskus High School football team really turned up the heat this season and secured the title of runner-up district champions. A great success for the young kickers, who made it to the final round of the district championship in the Arnsberg district in Siegen with a lot of passion and team spirit. There were unforgettable moments and exciting encounters during the course of the tournament, which [lokalplus.nrw](https://www.lokalplus.nrw/olpe/fussball-vize-im-bezirk-st-franziskus-kicker- Feiern-grossen- Success-95629) reports.

However, the road to the championship was anything but easy. In the preliminary round, the Olpers beat the Wilnsdorf high school 4:1, but had to accept a bitter defeat against the Eickel high school 2:6. Nevertheless, the team managed to qualify for the quarter-finals, which was already a great triumph.

An exciting tournament

The Evangelisches Gymnasium Lippstadt waited in the quarter-finals and after a narrow victory in the technical course, in which they triumphed 1-0, they secured their ticket to the semi-finals. There the team competed against the Iserlohn Municipal High School and won 3-1, despite a defeat in the technical course. So it went to the final – and the tension increased.

But the final brought another encounter with the Eickel high school, where the Olper team hoped for more chances. Although Moritz Meinerzhagen was able to equalize after about ten minutes, the Eickel team did not give up and ultimately won the game 4-1. At first the players were angry about the outcome, but they quickly recognized that their opponent deserved a victory.

A strong school network

Football is more than just a game at school – it is a part of education. The Cultural Minister Conference works together with various institutions in the area of ​​school sports and shows how important support is for extra-curricular activities such as football. Cooperation with the German Football Association also plays a central role in promoting school sport. Such committed programs are essential to give young people the opportunity to not only discover their sporting talents, but also to practice team spirit and fairness.

In conclusion, it can be said that the adventure for the St. Franziskus-Gymnasium Olpe not only resulted in a title, but also in valuable experiences for the young team. We warmly congratulate you on your runner-up district championship title and are excited to see how the players will develop in the future. A next step is already in sight: Participation in the district championships, which fsg-arnsberg.de organizes, promises exciting competitions and perhaps even further successes for the Olpe talents.
