VfL Wolfsburg Haberleri

Jonathan Akaegbobi, or Bobi for short, is one of several youngsters who have been given regular opportunities to showcase their skills in training with the VfL first team, and thereby put themselves in the frame for a place in the Wolves’ Bundesliga matchday squad. In this interview, Akaegbobi shares his thoughts on training with the senior side, his goal in the friendly against Hannover 96 and being named in Ralph Hasenhüttl’s squad for the recent game against Bayern Munich.

The German Football League (DFL) announced the kick-off times for Bundesliga Matchdays 6 to 12 this Thursday. SV Werder Bremen, FC Augsburg and 1. FC Union Berlin will be the visitors to the Volkswagen Arena across October and November. Meanwhile, the Wolves will face their second newly promoted side on Saturday 26 October (kick-off 15:30 CEST) when they travel to St. Pauli. The trip to 1. FC Heidenheim will be played as the late game on a Sunday.

VfL Wolfsburg have loaned Manuel Braun to 3. Liga side Waldhof Mannheim for the rest of the 2024/25 season. The defender joined the Wolves’ academy six years ago and established himself as one of the best players in his age category. The 19-year-old was part of Ralph Hasenhüttl’s first-team squad over the summer.

VfL Wolfsburg have secured themselves a lucrative and highly attractive home tie in the second round of the DFB Cup, with Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund coming to the Volkswagen Arena after the draw was made on Sunday afternoon.
The match will be played on either 29 or 30 October, with the kick-off time to be published across the various VfL channels as soon as it has been confirmed.
 

When the Wolves step out at the Holstein-Stadion this afternoon (kick-off 15:30 CEST), they will become part of history. That is because they will be involved in the first-ever Bundesliga fixture to take place in Schleswig-Holstein. VfL have crossed swords with Holstein Kiel many times in the past, though – more than with Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Gladbach, for example. Here are more facts and figures on the first away Bundesliga outing of the new season:

VfL central defender Moritz Jenz will play for 1. FSV Mainz 05 from now until the end of the season, with VfL sending the 25-year-old out on loan for one year.

VfL Wolfsburg have bolstered their options in defensive midfield by signing Türkiye international Salih Özcan on loan from Borussia Dortmund. In addition to his ball-winning qualities, the 26-year-old has a great deal of experience on the European and international stage. 

VfL Wolfsburg suffered a late 3-2 defeat to FC Bayern Munich in their opening game of the new Bundesliga season on Sunday. For a long time, the Wolves looked like claiming at least a point against the visitors, who began the afternoon as favourites, but Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side delivered an impressive battling performance and managed to keep the record Bundesliga champions at bay for large parts of the contest. Bayern did, however, draw first blood when Jamal Musiala put them ahead with 20 minutes on the clock.

The Wolves are kicking off their new campaign with a glamour tie right off the bat, hosting record Bundesliga winners Bayern Munich at the Volkswagen Arena on Sunday 25 August (15:30 CEST). This will be the first time since 2012/13 that Bayern are not the defending champions, however.
