- The team has already demonstrated promising football in their first two games of the season, against Pogon Stettin and VfL Wolfsburg, with victories in both matches. However, specific details about the performances in these games were not provided.
- The squad is currently facing a significant absence, with Belgian national player Hannah Eurlings expected to be out for a long period due to a severe injury sustained at the European Championship.
- As they prepare for their Bundesliga debut, 1. FC Union Berlin has chosen to play against high-caliber opponents, including VfL Wolfsburg and Real Madrid. This strategy provides the team with valuable experience and high-level competition, aiding their development and preparation for the challenges of the Bundesliga season.
