Overview
- Hamburger SV officially announced a friendly with Hajduk Split at the Volksparkstadion on 15 November with a 15:00 kickoff and member-first ticket presales priced between €10.44 and €25.44.
- Mario Vuskovic’s four-year suspension ends on 15 November and the club says he has trained with the team since the DFB granted permission in mid-September.
- HSV frames the match as both a sporting test and an emotional reunion with Vuskovic’s boyhood club, and club officials have invited fans to mark the return.
- The game takes place during the international window, so which HSV players join is uncertain, and any selection for the Bundesliga match at Werder Bremen on 22 November will depend on Vuskovic’s fitness and performance in the test.
- Vuskovic has not played organized 11v11 football since 2022, so the match will be watched for his match sharpness and for signals about the club’s short-term defensive plans.
