Record attendance stands at 2,713
On Saturday, the FCC gained self-confidence with a 3-1 win at the start of the second half of the season against Turbine Potsdam and improved to fourth place in the second division table: “We showed everyone that we are there. We didn’t have to do anything else. And now we are ready for Bayern,” goalscorer Josephine Bonsu told MDR. It’s now important to regenerate well, added coach Florian Kästner: “It’s an additional game against Bayern Munich. The focus is on the league. But I trust our girls to do anything. I hope a lot of people come.”
Jena’s attendance record at home is 2,713. That’s how many came to the university sports center in 2010 for the USV’s 3-0 semi-final win against SG Essen-Schönebeck. So far, 2,500 tickets have been sold for the Bayern guest game. It takes place in the large Ernst Abbe sports field, which is now known as the “ad hoc arena”.
Bayern still unbeaten in the Bundesliga – sixth cup duel
The Munich team is at the top of the Bundesliga, one point ahead of cup winners Wolfsburg. Norwegian Alexander Straus’ team is undefeated in 14 games. Bayern got eleven wins and three draws. The double is still possible. However, this is only possible through VfL Wolfsburg, who have won the cup nine times in a row and have been unbeaten in this competition since 2013. Overall, the Straus team only lost once this season, 0-1 in the Champions League at Ajax Amsterdam.
Jena and the Bayern women have met five times in the cup so far. The Thuringians were always left behind. In the 2022 quarter-finals, Jena ended badly with a 1:9 defeat.
