Approximately 28 kilometres separate 1. FC Union’s Alte Försterei stadium and the Mommsenstadion, which will host the Green-and-Whites’ DFB Cup first-round tie against TuS Makkabi Berlin on Sunday 13 August (kick-off 15:30 CEST). It marks VfL’s second consecutive cup game in the German capital, following last season’s round of 16 defeat at Union, although this time around the situation is rather different. The Wolves have contested 116 DFB Cup fixtures to date, including two finals, but in Makkabi Berlin they are meeting the first Jewish club to feature in the competition, out of 880 participating teams so far.
