As a result, it will only be determined on Sunday, September 4th, how the pairings of the second round look. The draw then live on ZDF. will play Werder Bremen and Co. finally on October 18th and 19th, 2022. (mbü)

DFB-Pokal: SV Werder Bremen meets Energie Cottbus in the first round
The first competitive opponent of the 2022/2023 season has been decided: Der SV Werder Bremen plays in the first round of the DFB Cup away against Energy Cottbus from the Northeast Regional League. That was the result of the draw on Sunday in the German Football Museum in Dortmund.
Kevin Großkreutz, soccer world champion of 2014 and ex-professional of Borussia Dortmund, among others, acted as the “Losfee”. the first cup round increases between July 29 and August 1, i.e. one week before the start of the Bundesliga. The exact timing of the away game from Werder Bremen versus Energy Cottbus and the other games (including Bremer SV vs. Schalke 04) is still pending.
“Cottbus is an attractive draw for the first round. Energie is a club with a long tradition. We have to be prepared for an atmospheric stadium.” Werder Bremen Coach Ole Werner in a first reaction to club media. “But of course we have the right to live up to our role as favorites and get through to the next round.” Werder’s head of professional football Clemens Fritz said: “I still remember difficult games with Werder in the Bundesliga against Energy Cottbus. It was never easy to compete there. Cottbus is currently an ambitious regional league team.” Fritz is “convinced that we will reach the next round”.
Werder Bremen vs. Energie Cottbus: 1st round drawn in the DFB Cup
Energy Cottbus, former club of Werder professional Leonardo Bittencourt and last season third in the Regionalliga Nordost and state cup winner Brandenburg, is actually a mandatory task for the Bundesliga promoted team. But that 1 round im DFB Cup is not a sure-fire success, the green-whites had to realize again last season. As a second division defeated Werder Bremen the third-class VfL Osnabrück with 0:2.
Just in the 2010s had Werder Bremen more often at first-round opponent disgraced. The bugbears were named 1. FC Heidenheim (2011), Preußen Münster (2012), 1. FC Saarbrücken (2013) and Sportfreunde Lotte (2016). The Hanseatic League had stabilized again in recent years: in 2021 and 2019 they reached the semi-finals of the DFB Cup, in 2020 they reached the quarter-finals. Then came Osnabrück last year. So the team coached by Ole Werner has 2022 to iron something out again. (han)
