There is great anticipation in Fulda for the Hessen Cup football final on Saturday (4:30 p.m.) in Offenbach. SG Barockstadt expects more than 1,000 of its own supporters against SV Wehen Wiesbaden.
Fulda – How to ask Maximilian Hainer, team manager SG Barockstadt, which was heavily criticized at the start of the season after a false starthave shown that the association has already been able to sell 2,300 tickets, which means that the goal of 2,000 tickets has already been exceeded.
Now everyone involved is hoping for 3,000 spectators and a great backdrop in Offenbach. More than 1,000 tickets have already gone to Fulda, the SGB is currently using six buses and hopes to be able to acquire more, although this will be difficult due to the upcoming Pentecost weekend.
Hessen Cup final: SG Barockstadt before their home game in Offenbach?
It is clear that the stadium on Bieberer Berg, which can accommodate 20,500 spectators, will not open all of the stands. The big back straight, home of the Kickers Offenbach fans, remains closed and is used for the TV cameras. This was a way to reduce the overall cost somewhat.
According to Schmelz, the preparations for the final are going on quietly: “Our office is doing a great job here and is benefiting from years of experience.” Fans still have the opportunity to secure tickets in advance. The SG Barockstadt fans will be found in the east stand and the adjacent part of the main stand.
A total of 21 state cup finals will take place on Saturday, but not all of them are fighting for a place in the DFB Cup, as six teams have already reached it: If an association cup winner reaches one of the first four places in the 3rd league, the losing finalist moves up.
In Brandenburg, VfB Krieschow, the opponent of Energie Cottbus, and in the Lower Rhine, SC St. Tönis, the opponent of MSV Duisburg, benefit from this. Both lower-class clubs can look forward to reaching the first DFB Cup main round even in the event of a defeat.
TSV 1860 Munich is also sure to be in the DFB Cup next year because their final opponent Würzburger Kickers has already qualified as the best Bavarian amateur team. Ergo: If SV Wehen Wiesbaden had achieved a top four placement, SG Barockstadt would already be in the DFB Cup, but five places and 15 points were missing from the final tally.
The final games of the SG Barockstadt can be seen on the ARD stream
All finals will be shown in a large conference on ARD – but not at the same time. The first six final games start at 11.30 a.m., the SG Barockstadt game can be seen in the last slot. At the same time, the finals of the regional associations of Bavaria, Saarland and Westphalia will kick off and be shown there.
The Hessian final is one of the 16 finals that will also be streamed live and in full length in the ARD media library. The commentator is Daniel Höhr from Hessischer Rundfunk. There are countless football games taking place in the Fulda region on Saturday, many of which overlap at least with the kick-off of the final in Offenbach.
Britannia Eichenzell has now brought the cellar thriller in the North Association League against SG Eiterfeld/Leimbach forward by half an hour to 2.30 p.m. in order to enable a “public viewing” of the SG Barockstadt singles game from kick-off in the athletes' home at the Tannen. And if you can't get enough of football in Eichenzell that day, you can also watch the DFB Cup final there from 8 p.m.
