🫣 A patch of turf missing: DFB-Pokal pitch falls short of required length
Actually, VfL Wolfsburg wanted to start selling tickets for their DFB Cup match against SV Hemelingen today. But that's not going to happen for now. As the Bundesliga club announced on Monday, the start has to be postponed. Because the field where the first-round match in the DFB Cup is to be played is too short. With a length of 96 meters, it is exactly four meters too short. The problem was reported during an inspection of the field by DFB officials at the stadium on Berliner Ring in Verden, Lower Saxony, as reported by 'Bild', among others. "No problem", the club probably thought, which is said to have assured the DFB that it would extend the field by laying down roll-out turf. The only problem is that the stadium has a tartan track. Additionally, it was apparently criticized that the distance to a high jump facility behind the goal was too small. So, move to a different location after all? For the amateur club, this doesn't seem to be an option. In addition to Delmenhorst or Oldenburg, the match on August 16 could also be played in the stadium of the Wolfsburg women. One thing is certain, though: the advance ticket sales will have to wait until a solution to the field problem has been found. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Soccer-Werner appointed Leipzig coach

Kroeger (Reuters) -RB Leipzig have appointed Ole Werner as their new head coach with a contract until 2027, the Bundesliga club announced on Tuesday. The appointment ends Leipzig's months-long search for a permanent replacement after parting ways with Marco Rose in March. Interim coach Zsolt Low took the reins for the remainder of the campaign that ended in a disappointing seventh-placed league finish. Werner, 37, who had recently declined to extend his contract at fellow Bundesliga side Werder Bremen, will coach a Leipzig side who will compete only in domestic competitions next season after failing to secure European qualification for the first time since 2016. "Ole is a young, ambitious and extremely ambitious head coach who will take the next step in his development with us," said Leipzig managing director Marcel Schafer in a statement. "RB Leipzig stands for a bold, attacking style of play with a clear identity, as well as professional and ambitious thinking," Werner said. "The club has big goals and high expectations and this is exactly the kind of environment that convinced me and one to which I want to contribute."
