Overview

• Seventh‑tier SV Panitzsch/Borsdorf hosts 3. Liga club Erzgebirge Aue on Saturday at 11 a.m. in the Sachsenpokal third round, facing a four‑division gap.
• Club board member Lars Ziegenhorn says staging the game brings extra expenses in the mid five‑figure range for security, facilities and ticketing.
• The hosts are offering one‑day stadium naming rights for €5,000 and have already sold items like entrance children, the substitution board and a matchday presenter for mid four‑figure sums.
• Ticket revenue, a special matchday scarf and food and beverage sales are planned to help the club aim for a break‑even result.
• The competition began with 85 entrants and is down to 32, with the round opening Friday in Niesky against VfB Auerbach as other underdogs, including Oderwitz, Riesa and Meißen, target upsets and prize money.
