Overview

  • Borussia Dortmund will face FC Bayern München in the DFB-Pokal first round on Monday at 18:30 local time at Stadion Rote Erde.
  • The club kept the game at its home ground rather than moving to Signal Iduna Park to preserve familiarity and atmosphere on a Monday night.
  • The City of Dortmund granted a special permit to raise capacity to 15,755 after an initial allotment of about 10,000 tickets sold out quickly.
  • The WDR will stream the match live, and Sky will broadcast it as part of its selection of early-round ties.
  • Dortmund’s women have surged from the Kreisliga to the Regionalliga since 2020 and now operate on professional contracts under coach Markus Högner, though a recent league win was voided to a 0:2 loss for fielding ineligible newcomer Sara Ito.
