According to the police, the home association creates the corresponding security concept and coordinates it with the city of Jena, the commercial security service and the security bodies involved.
According to the Jena State Police Inspectorate, the emergency services will be supported on match day by colleagues from Bavaria and Hesse.
Where will the game be broadcast?
For the first time, the two clubs have jointly acquired the right to broadcast a state cup game in Thuringia. They will produce and stream the game for their fans on their own responsibility. As FCC managing director Patrick Widera said, the proceeds from the stream go directly to the two clubs. The round of 16 game will be broadcast in full length on the streaming service Solidsport offered. The broadcast begins at 1:45 p.m. and will be commented on by Andreas Mann, who has already worked as a commentator on MDR and Magenta Sport.
The MDR will then show a summary on Sport im Osten, and there will also be an audio stream during the game.
What are the chances?
The FCC clearly won the derby 5-1 in September, but have only picked up four points from five games since then. The Erfurters have been doing better again since the painful defeat against Jena, including a clear 5-1 win against BSG Chemie Leipzig and also defeated newly promoted Hertha 03 Zehlendorf 2-0.
FC Carl Zeiss Jena is the record cup winner in Thuringia with 15 titles. FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt has won the coveted trophy ten times so far.
