Champions Bayer Leverkusen will open the 62nd season of the Bundesliga against Borussia Mönchengladbach. This means that the Werkself will have to travel to an away game for the season opener on August 23, as the German Football League (DFL) announced. The 2nd Bundesliga will open a little earlier, on August 2, with two traditional clubs: There, relegated 1. FC Köln will face Hamburger SV.
“We are delighted that Borussia Park is the venue for the first Bundesliga game of the new season and that we are therefore challenging the German champions,” Borussia’s sports director, Roland Virkus, is quoted as saying on the club’s website. Last season, the Foals lost 3-0 to Leverkusen in the first half of the season and there was a goalless draw in the second half. It was Leverkusen’s only game of the season in which they failed to score.
This means that next season, for the first time in twelve years, FC Bayern Munich will not be opening the Bundesliga – the record champions only finished last season in third place. The DFL will announce at midday who the Munich team will be playing against in the coming season, as well as all other fixtures for the start of the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga seasons. The draw for the first round of the DFB Cup was held at the beginning of June and will take place from August 16th.
