FC Augsburg and the DFB Cup, really not a love affair. In the 2022/23 season, however, both will try to get together again. The first date will be drawn on Sunday evening.
With FC Augsburg and the DFB Cup it is like with many a love relationship. At the beginning of the romance there is tingling in the stomach and hope for the grand finale. In the end there is usually disappointment and the hope that the happy ending will definitely come. Once the big party in Berlin was just around the corner before Werder Bremen shattered dreams of the magical night. That was twelve years ago and the memory has long since faded.
It’s time for new butterflies in your stomach, which this exciting competition can produce again and again. In the last three years, however, he was nothing more than a brief flirt for the Swabians, against Verl (1st round), Leipzig and Bochum (2nd round) it was an early end. From tonight it will be clear with whom the red-green-white will meet at the end of July/beginning of August for a renewed attempt. Will it be an encounter with an old friend, the club from the neighborhood (Illertissen) or a blind date with a team such as FC Teutonia 05 Ottensen from Hamburg or 1. FC Kaan-Marienborn (Oberliga Westfalen)?
“Date” will be drawn today
Whom on 29./30./31. July or August 1, 2022, FC Augsburg, like all other 60 participants, will find out on Sunday from 7:15 p.m. when the first round of the cup will be drawn in the ARD sports show. Under no circumstances should the FCA hand out gifts if the path is to lead to the grand final in Berlin. This will take place on June 3, 2023. Will it finally be a red, green and white ball?
