Which teams are participating in the Bundesliga and what actions is the Schalke Crisis Club taking?
The upcoming 2022-2023 2. Bundesliga season is shaping up to be an exciting one, with several teams vying for promotion to the top tier. Two clubs standing out as the promotion favourites are Fortuna Düsseldorf and Arminia Bielefeld.
Fortuna Düsseldorf, who narrowly missed out on promotion in recent campaigns, have high expectations this season under the guidance of experienced coach Daniel Thioune. Their strong squad and ambitious approach have earned them the status of front-runners for the promotion race. Arminia Bielefeld, hosting Fortuna Düsseldorf in a key early-season match, also figure prominently among the favourites, reflecting both teams' ambitions.
The absence of traditionally strong clubs like Hamburger SV and 1. FC Köln from the promotion picture this season elevates Fortuna Düsseldorf's status even further.
Holstein Kiel, who have recently returned to the 2. Bundesliga after a brief stint in the Bundesliga, are another team to watch. Meanwhile, Schalke 04's future in the promotion or relegation conversation remains unclear in this article.
Several other clubs, such as Hertha BSC, FC Schalke 04, 1. FC Kaiserslautern, 1. FC Nuremberg, and former champions, continue to be crowd-pullers in the league. SV Elversberg, who failed in the promotion/relegation playoff, should not be written off, while Nuremberg and SC Paderborn have been mixing it up at the top of the league.
VfL Bochum, under the guidance of coach Dieter Hecking, has regrouped and looks promising for the upcoming season. Hertha BSC, on course for the Bundesliga in its third attempt, has bolstered its squad with smart transfers like Dawid Kownacki and Maurice Krattenmacher. Schalke 04, meanwhile, wants a fresh start under coach Miron Muslic, with a focus on aggressive power football.
Mahir Emreli and Ivan Prtajin have been brought in to rebuild Kaiserslautern's offense after Ragnar Ache's departure, while Kevin Vogt's return to VfL Bochum brings Bundesliga experience and leadership. Talented loan players Leandro Morgalla and Francis Onyeka have joined VfL Bochum, adding to their promising roster.
Hannover 96, with a new coach, Christian Titz, and 16 new players, despite 17 departures, aims to promote. Coach Marcel Rapp has a rejuvenated and well-balanced Holstein Kiel team, while Dynamo Dresden and Arminia Bielefeld, returning to the 2. Bundesliga, prioritise initial league survival. 1. FC Kaiserslautern, under the guidance of coach Torsten Lieberknecht, brings the necessary experience for a promotion push.
As the season kicks off, fans of the 2. Bundesliga can look forward to a thrilling race for promotion, with several teams vying for the top spot. With new transfers, rejuvenated squads, and experienced coaches, the 2022-2023 season promises to be an exciting one.
The Commission, taking into account the ambitions of clubs like Fortuna Düsseldorf and Arminia Bielefeld, might find it beneficial to collaborate with the European Parliament to discuss the implications of the upcoming 2022-2023 football season, particularly the potential impact of promotion on certain teams. Meanwhile, Fortuna Düsseldorf, inspired by their strong squad and guided by experienced coach Daniel Thioune, are expected to dominate the sports scene, with their performance in football standing out as a significant aspect of the 2. Bundesliga season.
