FVD in the cup fight: chances of promotion after the derby debacle!
On Wednesday at 7:30 p.m., an important game in the association cup is on the program for the FVD. After the disappointing derby defeat against Ludwigshafen, the team and the trainer strive for reparation. With a view of the opponent, an Oberliga promoter who is deep in the relegation battle, the team has high ambitions. How Fupa reports, the trophy is of great importance for the players, especially as a compensation for the latest setbacks.
Trainer Anouar Ddaou attaches great importance to this competition and plans as long as it allows the injury situation to go into the race with the best eleven. The only exception could be Leo Klein, who will not be on the pitch. Ddaou knows that good performance is necessary, especially to learn from the mistakes of the last game and to be better defensive. Edinger, the FVD's goalkeeper, emphasizes that you have to be wide awake at the beginning of a game in order to be able to intercept the opponent's rotating attacks. Wormatia's home balance is quite strong, while they are often struggling away.
The importance of the association cup
The association cup 2024–25, as on Wikipedia Led, comprises 21 regional competitions that also play an important qualification role for the DFB Cup 2025–26. All clubs from the 3rd league and below can participate, while the Bundesliga clubs are left out. Therefore, the association cup is not only an additional highlight of the season, but also an opportunity to put the spotlight of the DFB Cup.
Particular attention is paid to the winners of the association cups because they qualify for the first round of the DFB Cup-an opportunity that no team wants to miss. In addition to the 21 regional cup winners, three other clubs from the largest national associations make it into the DFB Cup. This shows how high the importance of the cup is in German football, even with the amateurs.
The way to the trophy
The rules of the regional association cups vary, and while most finals take place on the final day of amateurs on May 24, 2025, there are local peculiarities in the different regions. For example, the best-placed non-reserved team in the regional league qualifies in Bavaria for the DFB Cup, while in Westphalia the qualification between the Oberliga champions and the regional league champion changes. More information about the nationwide competitions are on Kicker to find.
In summary, it can be said that the trophy has a high priority for the FVD, not only as an opportunity to prove itself in competition, but also to lick the wounds of defeat against Ludwigshafen. The players and trainers are aware that each game counts and the way to the DFB Cup leads over this important step in the association cup. It remains exciting how the team will do on Wednesday and whether they can do justice to their ambitious objectives.
