Campaign: Union women oppose Mainz - no hope for Victoria
The Women's DFB-Pokal, the prestigious German football cup competition, is set to begin on the 27th and 29th of September, 2025. The tournament features 36 qualified teams, including 14 top teams from the previous Frauen-Bundesliga season and two from the 2. Bundesliga, who receive a bye into the second round.
One of the most anticipated matches of the first round will see Union Berlin's women's football team travelling to face 1. FSV Mainz 05. As Bundesliga representatives, Union Berlin will be aiming to make a strong start in the competition. The exact date for this match has yet to be confirmed.
Another intriguing encounter will pit Turbine Potsdam, who were relegated from the Bundesliga, against 1. FFC Montabaur, a team from the Regionalliga. Turbine Potsdam will be hoping to bounce back from their relegation with a victory in this winnable tie.
Newly-promoted Viktoria Berlin will be facing a tough test against top Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt. This promises to be an exciting clash, as Viktoria Berlin look to make their mark in the competition.
The DFB-Pokal matches will likely involve home and away games, with travel being a factor for Union Berlin. The locations for the matches have not been specified yet. The games will follow a knockout format, with only one opponent for each team. It is expected that the matches will consist of 90-minute regulation time, although extra time or penalties have not been mentioned.
Referees appointed by the German Football Association (DFB) will officiate the matches. The full list of first-round games, including the exact dates and locations, is expected to be available on the official DFB website shortly after the draw, which was conducted on August 19, 2025, by Turid Knaak.
Some confirmed fixtures include Borussia Dortmund Women against Borussia Mönchengladbach Women, and VfL Wolfsburg Women against ATS Buntentor. The full detailed draw beyond these examples has not been publicly listed, but the draw divides teams into two regional groups (North and South) to reduce travel, and home advantage favors the lower division side or the first team drawn if both are from lower leagues.
As the Women's DFB-Pokal first round approaches, fans are eagerly awaiting the announcement of the full schedule of matches. The competition promises to be exciting, with many close encounters and potential upsets on the cards. Stay tuned for more updates!
