The 1st FC Kaiserslautern goes into his third season in the 2nd Bundesliga on Sunday, July 30, 2023 and meets the promoted SSV Ulm. This game is not only the start for both teams, but also a first test for the changes that were made in both clubs.

The FCK presents itself in a phase of change. In addition to a new trainer, Markus Beginning, new players were also integrated and different strategies were tried out. The good fan resonance is shown in the sale of over 28,000 season tickets, which shows the unbroken support of the trailers. Despite the weaker last season, the support remains strong. However, it should be noted that, due to numerous injuries, several key players will be missing, which could make the start of the season more complicated.
Community and fan anticipation
The community around the FCK is optimistic, despite the challenges that are waiting for the team. Around 5,000 fans traveled to Ulm for the game, which, considering the situation at SSV Ulm, is a remarkable mobilization. The fans are encouraged to support the team uniformly in the club colors and to be part of the game in order to strengthen and show the team feeling and show that the followers are behind the club.
early challenges and tactics
Markus Beginning, the new coach of the FCK, warns that SSV Ulm is not a typical climber, but a stable opponent. His team is prepared to accept the dynamics and the challenges that the season start. Even if the team misses some key players at the opening game, the hope that the new approaches in the game will be able to bring some positive surprises.
fan logistics and tips
For the fans who compete in Ulm on Sunday, it is recommended to travel to the stadium at an early stage.

However, it is guaranteed that replacement buses bring fans to the stadium in good time, even if they do not have the same capacity as the trams.
A look into the future
While the fan base emotionally starts the new season, both teams have the chance to gain a foothold in the 2nd Bundesliga and achieve their goals. The start of the season could be the beginning of something new - both for the FCK and SSV Ulm. The next few weeks will show where the trip will lead for both teams.
