The draw will be live on ARD-Sportschau at 7:15 PM.
Cup Facts Every Fortuna Fan Should Know
You've been waiting for a home game in the cup; well, the wait might soon be over. Fortuna will want to celebrate a home win against Kiel (1.30 PM, Sky) and secure a home draw for the quarter-finals, setting them up for a potential path to the final.
"I'm not done yet, I'm happy for it to continue like this," said Daniel Thioune (49), after their Magdeburg victory. Thioune and his team will have the opportunity to reach the semi-finals, one of the four potential dates for the quarter-finals being: January 30 and 31, 2024, and February 6 and 7, 2024.
City rivals Kaiserslautern and St. Pauli also advanced in the cup, adding more excitement to the competition. Fortuna has picked up four points against both teams in the league. Remember that incredible 0:3 to 4:3 turnaround against Lautern during the "Fortuna for all" program?
More Cup Celebrations Could Mean More Money
The cash-strapped Fortuna Düsseldorf coffers have already received €1.7 million from their Magdeburg win. But things could get better - much better! An additional cup win could more than double this amount, bringing in almost €3.5 million. That's some serious boost for the future of the club!
