First team

On Thursday, the German Football Association (DFB) confirmed the exact schedule for the first round of the DFB-Pokal.

Robert Wagner has joined Bundesliga new boys FC St. Pauli on loan. Wagner spent last season at SpVgg Greuther Fürth in the second tier.

SC Freiburg have signed goalkeeper Jannik Huth on a free transfer ahead of the upcoming Bundesliga season. The 30-year-old has spent the last five seasons between the sticks at SC Paderborn.

The first round of the 2024/25 DFB-Pokal will see SC visit VfL Osnabrück, following the draw at the German Football Museum in Dortmund.

Benjamin Uphoff will not be an SC Freiburg player next season. The goalkeeper’s contract will expire this summer and won’t be extended.

Training will begin on 7th July, whilst the season opener will take place on 10th August. Everything planned for the time in between is included in the 2024/25 summer plan.

Yannik Keitel has agreed a deal to join VfB Stuttgart, with the 24-year-old set to leave SC after 13 years.

SC Freiburg suffered a 2-1 defeat to 1. FC Union Berlin on the final day of the 2023/24 Bundesliga season and finish the campaign in 10th place, missing out on international competition.

SCF will travel to the capital to take on relegation-threatened FC Union Berlin on Saturday (15:30 CEST).

Freiburg’s final home game of the season ended in a 1-1 draw against FC Heidenheim. Ritsu Doan put the home side ahead, before FCH equalised through Kevin Sessa.
