1. FC Union Berlin Haberleri

Khedira ill, Seguin came later

1. FC Union Berlin’s long-standing partner, IFA, will return this year to host the world’s largest trade fair for consumer electronics between September 2-6, 2022 at Messe Berlin. For the last two years, the popular event was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. “We are proud to be able to present this year’s opposition which is steeped in tradition and returns to the top division. It will be a high-quality encounter and emotionally will touch us even more. Like all Union fans, even we at IFA have taken Taiwo to our hearts. We are very pleased that we all now have the opportunity to say goodbye,” said IFA Director Jens Heithecker.

The first opponent, Viktoria, suffered relegation in May from Germany’s third division to the Regionalliga Nordost. The light blues started well in the nationwide division, achieving a promotion position after 10 games. But the wheels came off with a long run of defeats and the exit of successful head coach Benedetto Muzzicatto. Despite wins at home to Magdeburg, away to Borussia Dortmund II and at home to Saarbrücken, Viktoria weren’t able to preserve their 3.Liga status. It’s a fresh charge at the Regionalliga under Farat Toku and they will face stiff competition alongside Carl Zeiss Jena, Energie Cottbus, Chemnitzer FC and Hertha II. Viktoria’s lost 1-2 to Magdeburg in a bounce game on Saturday, but their campaign will start competitively with an exciting first round DFB Pokal tie against Bundesliga outfit VfL Bochum.

“I really feel very comfortable at Union,” said Becker, who was the second fastest player in the entire Bundesliga last season. “We have achieved incredible things together in recent years, and together with the club and the team, I have also developed further.

Theoson-Jordan, to go by his full first name, was born in Washington DC, the capital city of the United States. At a young age, he moved to France along with his family. After showing early promise, he was recruited to join the academy of Stade Reims, the club where he would eventually make his professional breakthrough. Averaging a goal every third game in Ligue 2, it wasn’t long before France’s strongest clubs became interested. After a promotion-winning season, Siebatcheu put pen-to-paper on a contract at Stade Rennes where he scored eight goals in 44 matches.

Urs Fischer’s team started pre-season fixtures with a 3-1 win over Viktoria Berlin on Wednesday. A first-half double from Sven Michel gave Union a dominant lead going into the break. Andreas Voglsammer hit one after half-time before Viktoria pulled one back through Umur Durmurshan. It was a good exercise for the Bundesliga side with three U19s appearing – Yannic Stein, Malick Sanogo and Aljosha Kemlein. New signings Danilo Doekhi, Milos Pantovic, Tim Skarke and Paul Seguin were given appearance time at the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark.
