VfB Stuttgart is crowned cup winner again after 28 years!
VfB Stuttgart made history on May 24, 2025 in Berlin's Olympic Stadium by winning the DFB Cup. In a highly dramatic final, the team defeated Arminia Bielefeld 4-2. While 25,000 VfB supporters were able to watch the game with excitement, a total of 74,036 spectators were in the stadium, including prominent guests such as Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and national coach Julian Nagelsmann.
Coach Sebastian Hoeneß, who is coaching the team in his first season, was able to celebrate the cup victory after a mixed Bundesliga season in which VfB finished ninth. This year is particularly significant for VfB Stuttgart as the club was able to win the cup for the first time in 28 years.
The course of the game
The game started dramatically. Bielefeld had the opportunity to take the lead in the 12th minute when Noah Joel Sarenren Bazee hit the crossbar. But it was VfB who took the lead in the 15th minute through Nick Woltemade, who lifted the ball over the goalkeeper. Just seven minutes later, Enzo Millot made it 2-0. Deniz Undav extended the lead to 3-0 in the 28th minute. Millot scored the fourth goal of the evening in the 66th minute.
Although the game seemed to be decided in Stuttgart's favor, there was still some tension in the final stages when Bielefeld scored two late goals through Julian Kania in the 82nd minute and an own goal from Josha Vagnoman in the 85th minute.
A victory with meaning
The cup triumph is seen by fans and those responsible as compensation for the previous season, in which VfB Stuttgart experienced both highs and lows. With victory in the DFB Cup, the team also qualifies for the Europa League next season, which represents an additional positive outlook for the next challenges.
VfB Stuttgart's cup titles are now dated to the years 1954, 1958, 1997 and 2025. In the city of Stuttgart, the supporters celebrated the historic success in an exuberant atmosphere, while the players and their fans gathered in Berlin for the championship celebration. The class difference between the teams was clearly visible during the game, which makes VfB Stuttgart's victory all the more remarkable.
