The round of 16 of the DFB Cup has been drawn. FC Bayern Munich welcomes Bayer Leverkusen to the absolute top game. In total there are only three games in which Bundesliga clubs meet. These are the games in the round of 16 in the DFB Cup.
The absolute top game will take place in the round of 16 of the DFB Cup. FC Bayern Munich welcomes defending champions Bayer 04 Leverkusen for their home game. This was the result of the draw in the German Football Museum in Dortmund by European Championship saxophonist André Schnura and DFB sports director Rudi Völler on Sunday evening. “I’m definitely better at playing the saxophone than I am at loose,” said Schurra. “This is of course the game of games in this cup round,” said Völler. “I think Bayern aren’t too happy about this draw either because it’s a duel of equals.”
Werder Bremen to its former coach Florian Kohfeldt. The 42-year-old coach, who coached Bremen between 2017 and 2021, is traveling to the Weserstadion with his second division soccer team SV Darmstadt. Bremen’s Bundesliga rivals VfL Wolfsburg welcome TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.
The two-time cup winner and Bundesliga runner-up RB Leipzig has a home game against third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt. The only third division team remaining in the competition, Arminia Bielefeld, welcomes SC Freiburg, sixth in the Bundesliga.
Hertha BSC competes against league rivals 1. FC Köln. The two teams only met in the league on Saturday evening in the Berlin Olympic Stadium. Hertha lost 1-0 after a disappointing performance.
The round of 16 games will take place on December 3rd and 4th. As always since 1985, the DFB Cup final will be played in the arena in the capital this season on May 24, 2025.
