This year everything is a little different, including the DFB Cup. Actually 32 teams should already be determined for the 2nd round, but one is still missing. The question mark concerns the first round game of Schalke, which was rescheduled for November 3rd – against 1. FC Schweinfurt. Only a week before this game could it be clarified whether the opponent is Schweinfurt or Türkgücü.
The delays also have an impact on the draw for the 2nd round, because the winner has to be assigned to either the professional or the amateur pot. Thus, the procedure shifts significantly backwards. After two postings, the DFB has now announced a new date: the drawing will be on 8. November from 6.30 p.m. as part of the ARD sports show. Due to the current Corona situation, the draw will be held in the studio in Cologne and not in the German Football Museum. The drawing manager is DFB Vice President Peter Frymuth, the show is moderated by Alexander Bommes.
This is how the draw works
In the first lottery pot are all the professional teams of the Bundesliga and 2nd league. The second lottery pot, the so-called amateur pot, includes all teams from the 3rd league. First a professional team is drawn for each amateur team, then the remaining professional teams are drawn among themselves. The team drawn first has home rights. Only from the round of 16 onwards are all the balls drawn from one pot.
The matches of the 2nd round will be on December 22nd and 23rd carried out. In the past few years there were four games at 6.30 p.m. and four games at 8.45 p.m.
