Das Pokal-Viertelfinale von Leipzig gegen Lemgo wird wieder kein Heimspiel für die Sachsen.

Overview

  • SC DHfK Leipzig’s quarterfinal against TBV Lemgo Lippe on 17 December will be played at the Ballsportarena Dresden with local support from HC Elbflorenz.
  • The move was required because Leipzig’s Quarterback-Immobilien Arena is unavailable due to the setup for the Holiday on Ice production.
  • Club chief Karsten Günther called the switch outside Leipzig suboptimal but said it was the only viable option under the hall conditions.
  • Leipzig will organize fan buses and a train shuttle from the city, with departure times and prices to be announced in the coming days.
  • The Dresden venue holds 2,581 spectators compared with 8,200 in Leipzig, and ticketing opens in two phases: 21 November for season-ticket holders, sponsors and fan members, then 24 November for the public.
