1. FC Magdeburg Women Secure DFB-Pokal Qualification with 2-0 Win Against FSV Gütersloh
The women's team of 1. FC Magdeburg has secured a spot in the first main round of the 2025/2026 DFB-Pokal, following a 2-0 away victory against FSV Gütersloh on August 17, 2025.
The match, held in Gütersloh, saw an early goal from Latoya Bach and a late strike from Johanna Giese, giving Magdeburg a solid win against a challenging opponent that was recently relegated from the 2. Frauen-Bundesliga.
FSV Gütersloh, despite their relegation, presented a formidable challenge. The team had undergone significant changes following their relegation, losing key players and rebuilding. However, Magdeburg's coach, Nico Koch, highlighted the challenge but expressed confidence in his team's chances of victory.
The qualifying round victory not only marks a sporting achievement for Magdeburg but also brings a financial incentive. The women's and girls' department of FCM will receive a prize of €10,000 for qualification, a meaningful financial boost that could potentially enhance the club's profile, attract further sponsorships, fan support, and investment in the women's and girls' teams.
The team will now compete in the first main round of the DFB-Pokal, scheduled between September 27 and 29, 2025. This stage offers further opportunities for sporting success and financial rewards depending on progress.
The women's team will be looking to build on their recent pre-season performances in the upcoming matches, aiming to make a strong showing in the first main round of the DFB-Pokal.
