In the first round of this season’s DFB-Cup, Werder Bremen have been drawn against Lower Saxony club Eintracht Nordhorn, who finished in 15th place last season in the German fourth division. The game is set to be played between 07. and 10.08.2008. An exact date will be set and announced in the next few days.
That was the result of the cup draw made by former German women’s international Steffi Jones, who is president of the 2011 Women’s World Cup organisation committee. Other guests at the draw were former German international and current DFB Director of Sport Matthias Sammer and DFB general secretary Wolfgang Niersbach.
Werder trainer Thomas Schaaf acknowledged the news benevolently: “It’s good that we can stay in north Germany. Nordhorn is only two hours drive away along the Dutch border, so that will be interesting for our fans. I know Eintracht Nordhorn very well from my time as an amateur with Werder. They have a real football stadium which has seen many a heated battle.”
In recent years, Werder’s coach has also had contact with Nordhorn: “We signed the striker Ruud ter Heide from Nordhorn in 2004 for our U23 side, and he even trained with the first team at a point. That is the last time that I was there to do some scouting. We certainly won’t be underestimating them.”
