VfB Secures Victory against Toulouse in a Test Match - First Success for Woltemade
In the final match of their training camp, VfB Stuttgart secured a convincing 6-0 win over FC Toulouse in a friendly test match. The victory was marked by the debut of Nick Woltemade under coach Sebastian Hoeneß, who started the game.
Woltemade, who joined training after a prolonged vacation earlier this week, contributed an assist in the match but did not score himself. The goal came in the 33rd minute, as a result of a combination between Woltemade and Deniz Undav, which led to Chris Fuhrich finding the back of the net.
Jeff Chabot scored a goal for Stuttgart in the 60th minute, while Deniz Undav opened the scoring in the 10th minute. Lazar Jovanovic and Ermedin Demirovic added two goals each, one in the 106th and 120th minutes respectively, to secure a comprehensive victory for the German side.
Despite strong interest from Bayern Munich, Woltemade is expected to stay with VfB Stuttgart for the upcoming season. The club has reportedly rejected Bayern’s €55 million offer and is considering setting a deadline before the Supercup between Stuttgart and Bayern on August 16 for any improved bids.
Woltemade had a standout 2024/25 season, scoring 12 Bundesliga goals and 5 in the DFB Cup, earning senior Germany caps and performing strongly at the U21 Euro 2025. He is under contract with Stuttgart until June 30, 2028.
Stuttgart’s CEO Alexander Wehrle stated on July 17, 2025, that there are no negotiations underway and emphasized that Woltemade will be playing for Stuttgart next season, calling him a very important player for the team. The test match against Toulouse served as a promising indication of Woltemade's readiness to lead Stuttgart's attack in the upcoming season.
The friendly match was played over four periods: two of 45 minutes each, followed by two of 15 minutes each.
