The DFB referred in a short three-sentence message to the court’s “not yet final decision” and removed the match from the game plan to be on the safe side. Schweinfurt stayed awake sid-Request more steps.

In the evening, the DFB held a hasty conference with the Bavarian Football Association (BFV) to find a solution. Schalke reacted with strong criticism. “That is very annoying,” said sporting director Jochen Schneider: “You can only shake your head at the approach taken by the Bavarian Football Association, which for weeks and months obviously could not determine the rightful representative in the DFB Cup. . “
BFV had nominated Schweinfurt for the cup
The BFV had yielded former second division Schweinfurt for the cup nomination in a difficult situation in preference to Türkgücü. After the regional league season was canceled due to the crown pandemic, Munich was named as the undisputed leader of the table as a promoter. Then there was a controversy over how to deal with the mug collection. According to the court order, the BFV must “revoke the Schweinfurt report and inform Türkgücü about the cup,” Türkgücü said: “The DFB must allow these measures.”
Schweinfurt wants to carefully examine his further course of action. “We immediately contacted the BFV, but we still cannot say what our steps will be,” said press spokeswoman Jessica Oldenburger.
Reschedule in October?
Türkgücü CEO Max Kothny was “pleased to have been able to achieve this result before the Munich Regional Court”. For years it has been the “lived practice of the Bavarian Football Association” to allow the best Bavarian amateur team to participate in the DFB Cup.
“The short-term modification of the BFV statutes, which Schweinfurt 05 would have allowed for DFB-Pokal, shows that the original position, always defended by Türkgücü Munich, is lawful,” explained Kothny. “Our participation in the 3rd division was linked to our anticipated participation in the DFB Cup from the beginning.”
One option to reschedule the game would be October 15. On this day, Bayern Munich, triple winners, will play their first round match against 1. FC Düren.
