Headline: Former Captain Pfeffer Takes on Lok Leipzig in Halplus Cup Clash
The end of summer marked a turning point for Sascha Pfeffer (36) and FC Lok Leipzig. His contract wasn't renewed, not exactly by mutual agreement, setting the stage for what promises to be a dynamic reunion.
Pfeffer is challenging Lok!
And the new year kicks off with a bang... specifically on January 5.
That's when the indoor tournament for the Halplus Cup takes place in Halle. Lok will be there. And so will TSV Blau-Weiß Brehna, Pfeffer's new club.
But wait, there's more... TSV Blau-Weiß Brehna and Hallescher FC, Lok's local rivals, and VfL Halle 96 are all drawn into the same group. So, a showdown is inevitable.
Pfeffer confirms his participation, stating, "I agreed in Brehna that I would also play in the hall. I wasn't even aware which tournament it was."
Interestingly, Carl Zeiss Jena, the Hallescher FC all-star team, and teams from SV Dölau and LSG Lieskau are competing in the other group.
