Only yesterday, Saarland’s state government gave the green light to the match being played in Völklingen. There was previously a question about being able to adhere to the coronavirus regulations at the Hermann Neuberger Stadium. FCS are playing in Völklingen this season due to the rebuilding of their Ludwigspark ground and they are the first team from the fourth tier to reach the DFB cup semi-finals.
The second semi-final is between Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt. The match at the Allianz Arena in Munich will be played on 10 June (kick-off: 20.45 CET/live on Sky and on ARD). Both games will be played behind closed doors due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Ecuador international Piero Hincapie, who moved to Arsenal FC on loan from Bayer 04 Leverkusen for the 2025/26 season, will join the English champions permanently on 1 July 2026.
