The Natz air did 1. FC Heidenheim good last year. That’s why Frank Schmidt’s team, who has been in office for almost 17 years (!), is coming back to the Eisack Valley before its second Bundesliga season. Heidenheim has a mammoth program ahead of them this year, because the red and blues qualified for the Conference League (i.e. for international competition) by finishing 8th in their first season in the top German league.
The Heidenheim team arrived in Germany on Wednesday evening. On Saturday (3.30 p.m.) a friendly match against a regional Natz-Schabs selection is scheduled. The most famous player in the Bundesliga team’s squad is set-piece specialist Jan-Niklas Beste. Heidenheim also recently loaned Bayern Munich’s offensive gem Paul Wanner.
