In the DFB Cup there would have been a duel between FC Schalke 04 and 1. FC Schweinfurt on Saturday.
But a Munich club successfully sued the game.
In the first round of the
DFB Cup
on Saturday Schalke 04 and Schweinfurt would have faced each other.
But nothing will come of the game, as a club from Munich successfully
sued
the game
.
According to the court ruling,
Schweinfurt's participation in
the cup is provisionally revoked.
Update from September 11, 10:25 p.m.:
FC Schalke now responded to the
cancellation of
the cup game against Schweinfurt.
"It is very annoying that the DFB Cup game scheduled for Sunday has to be canceled," said Schalke Sports Director
Jochen Schneider
.
"If, in the opinion of the Munich Regional Court, Türkgücü Munich is the
legal participant in
the DFB-Pokal, then we will respect this decision and
look forward
to the game against Türkgücü - whenever it takes place," added Schneider.
But Schneider also stated that the same would apply "if we should still play against Schweinfurt".
Then he hands out
against the Bavarian Football Association
.
"Ultimately, however, you can only shake your head at the approach taken by the Bavarian Football Association, which for weeks and months was obviously not in a position to determine the legal representative at the DFB-Pokal." The discussions about the DFB-Pokal Participation has actually been going on for a few weeks.
❗️ The # S04 game in @DFB_Pokal on Sunday against 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 does not take place.

DFB Pokal: Türkgücü with a successful lawsuit against Schweinfurt - Schalke game canceled
Update from September 11th, 8:55 p.m.:
The
German Football Association
(DFB) canceled the cup game between Bundesliga club
FC Schalke 04
and
1. FC Schweinfurt 05
after a court ruling provided plaintiff
Türkgücü Munich
as a legitimate participant in the cup.
The District Court I decided on Friday that the third division newcomer Türkgücü should compete against Schalke instead of Schweinfurt.
On Friday evening, the
DFB
pointed out that this decision was not yet legally binding, but the game between the regional league top team and the troubled
Bundesliga club
had already been canceled by the game management.
The DFB will decide on a rescheduling "as soon as the legal clarification has been brought about," as the association announced in a
press release
.
DFB Cup: Munich club sues Schweinfurt - and gets right
First report from September 11th:
Munich / Schweinfurt - It
is clear
that the
DFB-Pokal
* has its
own laws
.
But no one expected the judgment of the Munich District Court I to be pronounced.
The game between Schweinfurt and FC Schalke 04 * seems to fall
through
, as a
Munich club took
legal action against the implementation.
DFB-Pokal: Unique case - third division club sues amateur club two days before the first round of the cup
Less than two days before the
first round match
in the DFB Cup * there is a drastic change in plan.
The Bundesliga team * will apparently not compete against FC Schweinfurt.
The third division promoted
Türkgücü Munich
* caused this at the Munich District Court I according to the club's announcement on Friday through an
injunction
.
It is now unclear how it will continue.
A weekend event is very
unlikely
, as the
SID
reports.
The reason for the
legal dispute
between the financially strong third division newcomer Türkgücü Munich and 1. FC Schweinfurt is the cup nomination of Lower Franconia.
As a
regional league champion
, Türkgücü would have qualified for the cup, but due to the corona pandemic, the clear leader of the table was unceremoniously named a promoter.
This moved Schweinfurt to
first place
and thus took part in the cup draw while the
actual
champion
peeked into the tube.

DFB-Pokal: Türkgücü Munich successfully sued Schweinfurt - no cup party against Schalke
According to the judgment, the
Bavarian Football Association
(BfV) would now be forced to "temporarily revoke the notification from Schweinfurt and report Türkgücü to the cup," wrote the migrant association in a
message
: "The DFB must allow these measures." Türkgücü- Managing director
Max Kothny then
defended the move in court.
"
We are satisfied
that we were able to achieve this result before the Munich Regional Court, because for years it has been the practice of the Bavarian Football Association to allow the
best
Bavarian amateur team to participate in the DFB Cup," quoted him from
Bild
.
“The verdict is still very fresh.
We are now waiting for more information from the DFB ”, Kothny informed the
SID
.
Now the DFB and the BfV are in
a lively exchange
in order to solve the situation as well as possible.
The
FC Schalke 04
commented on
SID
not -request.
As the
picture
claims to have found out, Türkgücü expects
the game to be
postponed
to a later date, similar to what would be the case at Bayern.
The possible catch-up game between Türkgücü and Schalke ** could take place during the international break at the beginning of October.
