Bayern Munich: Who will be the first cup opponent in the DFB Cup?
FC Bayern Munich is eagerly awaiting its opponent in the first main round of the DFB Cup, the draw of which will be broadcast live on ZDF on June 15, 2025 at 5:15 p.m. All first and second division teams as well as the best clubs in the third division and the state cup winners compete in this round, which creates an exciting field of participants. Owen Ansah, who was the first German to break the 10-second barrier over 100 meters, will act as a “raffle ticket” and moderate the draw. The draw will take place in German Football Museum in Dortmund instead of.
FC Bayern Munich's last DFB Cup triumph was several years ago; In the 2019/20 season they beat Bayer Leverkusen 4-2 in the final. However, the last five seasons have shown a mixed record: the team was eliminated three times in the second main round, once in the quarter-finals and once in the round of 16. Last year's defeat against Bayer Leverkusen, where the Munich team lost 0-1, was particularly bitter. Now FC Bayern is hoping for a better draw and progress this year.
General conditions of the DFB Cup
The first round of the DFB Cup will be played from August 15th to 18th, 2025. Bavarian representatives include Bayern Munich, FC Augsburg, 1. FC Nürnberg and SpVgg Greuther Fürth. The amateur pot includes teams like 1. FC Schweinfurt, SSV Jahn Regensburg and FV Illertissen, who can hope for attractive opponents.
All participants in the first round will receive a DFB bonus of 215,600 euros each. This sum is an incentive for the under-dogs, who also benefit from the media attention and the prestige of a cup game. The winner of the DFB Cup also has the opportunity to start in the group phase of the Europa League if they have not already qualified through the Bundesliga.
It is important to mention that the cup games of FC Bayern and VfB Stuttgart, which will play in the DFB Cup as well as the Supercup on August 16, 2025, will have to be rescheduled at a later date. This could have strategic implications for the planning and preparation of both teams.
Overall, the upcoming cup season promises to be exciting and the draw is awaited with particular attention. The fans and those in charge are hoping for exciting encounters and possibly a way for FC Bayern to return to its old strength in the DFB Cup.
