New league system brings a breath of fresh air for young people

The 1. FC Kaiserslautern (FCK) again relies on promising young talent training. The new season for the U21 and U19 of the association begins on Sunday, August 4, 2024. The U21 welcomes the regional league relegation TuS Koblenz in the home stadium, while the U19 will compete at the 1st FC Köln. These games not only represent a competition, but are also marked by a new path for the young teams.

The focus on training and development

With the Reformed Ligenetz System of the DFB, which will come into force from the 2024/25 season, the FCK not only aims at sporting success, but also on improved training in its talents. The U19 will now fight with new opposing teams in a regional season, including well -known clubs such as Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Borussia Mönchengladbach. Coach Eimen Baffoun has emphasized that it is important not only to win victories, but also to put the individual development of the players in the foreground.

U21 fights against experienced regional league

The U21 meets TuS Koblenz, a team with ambitions on the ascent. Despite the departures of some top performers, coach Alexander Bugera has struck optimistic tones. "The preparation was consistently positive, we saw good potential in the new players," said Bugera. The U21 was very convinced in the preparation and would also like to build on these services in the league.

U19 faces an important challenge

For the U19, the game against 1. FC Köln will also be decisive. After an unfortunate defeat in a test game, the players are determined to successfully perform in the league. "We vowed that we will win in the league," says Baffoun for the motivation of his team. The preparation was intensive and already showed approaches that indicate a strong season.

U17 starts a week later

The U17 of the FCK will also enter the new season. While the other two teams are active on August 4, the U17 is waiting until August 11th to compete against Bayer Leverkusen. Trainer Maurizio de Vico sees great potential in his team and relies on a strong training that also benefits the younger players from the U16.
