Overview

• Kickoff is Saturday at 17:00 at Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion, with live coverage on DF1.
• Organizers expect roughly 20,000 spectators, largely Monarchs supporters, and more than 50 media registrations with some requests declined.
• Potsdam is viewed as the benchmark after a 31:6 regular-season win over Dresden and a 27:21 victory in last year’s final.
• Dresden quarterback Justin Miller’s status remains uncertain after he missed the semifinal due to injury.
• The AFVD has funded a show featuring Glasperlenspiel singing the anthem, a three-plane JAG 52 flyover, and fireworks, with a reported budget of about €400,000.
