Only when there are no more amateur teams left will the scales merge and the draw will be completely free. It provides potential fireworks and cup sensations year in, year out – exactly what the DFB-Pokal is known for.
The DFB-Pokal is Germany's national cup tournament and traditionally starts with 64 participants, spread across the highest and lower divisions. It is a pure knockout competition: one match decides whether to continue or eliminate, possibly with extra time and penalties. That format gives smaller clubs the opportunity to compete with superpowers and occasionally pull off a stunt. For the professionals, in addition to the title battle in the Bundesliga, it is an important prize on the calendar and often also a route to European football.
The draw in Dortmund determines which encounters will color the coming round. Fans always look forward to possible clashes between top clubs, but also to the classic David-versus-Goliath duels in which an amateur club competes against a Bundesliga team. Which names exactly will emerge will become clear tonight; the German association will then announce the final match days and starting times. The second round is traditionally completed later in the autumn, spread over two playing moments during the week.
For Dutch followers, the DFB-Pokal is attractive to keep an eye on. The competition often provides a spectacleand is a nice snack in a full football week, especially on a day like today when the draw fits seamlessly with the German competition weekend. With the draw at 5:45 PM and then the Schalke 04 – Bayern Munich bill as the evening finale, the timing is ideal. In the coming hours, Dortmund will be in the center of German cup football, with three amateur teams dreaming of a home game against a superpower and professional clubs hoping for a favorable route to Berlin.
