DSV 1900 hosts initial test matches with MSV Duisburg commencing the series
Bringing in Fresh Faces! MSV Duisburg Kicks Off Pre-Season with a Bang
Prepare for some hot action as MSV Duisburg debuts their brand-spankin'-new jerseys and a whopping six new additions to the squad on June 28, 2025, during the anniversary game of Duisburger SV 1900.
Curious to catch a glimpse of the new recruits? Get ready to meet defenders Ben Schlicke and Niklas Jessen, defensive midfielder Rasim Bulic, midfielder Conor Noß, and the dynamic duo of forwards Tim Heike and Dennis Borkowski, all dressed in the iconic striped jerseys. As if that ain't enough, Coach Dietmar Hirsch will be fielding a squad of 21 players – except for the sidelined Gerrit Wegkamp, who's dealing with some niggling Achilles tendon issues.
But first, let's get down to the basics: On June 28, the action unfolds at the district sports facility in Duisburg, with the festivities kicking off at 3 PM. Interested fans can grab tickets for 8 euros at the entrance, while kids under 6 get to watch for free.
Fans are in for a treat as they'll get to witness this premier showcase of the team after an intense training week. The coach has had the team going double-time, and after a day of rest on Sunday, they'll head off to Epe, Netherlands for a week-long training camp.
Before that, though, the players will slip into action again on July 2 in a closed-door match-up against Hibernian, hailing from the Scottish first division. Keep in mind that last year's clash between DSV and MSV ended with a resounding 8-0 victory for the latter.
Intriguingly, the action-packed day doesn't end there. The Saturday lineup also includes an early showdown between DSV's second team and MSV's amateurs at 12 PM. So grab your tickets, deck yourself out in black-and-white, and let's cheer for MSV Duisburg as they bring the heat to the pitch!
Fun Fact: Coach Dietmar Hirsch sums up the day in only 18 words – "We're looking forward to showcasing the team in Duisburg after the first intense training week." Talk about saving the good stuff for last!
