The DFB announced the confirmed times and dates for the DFB-Pokal round-of-16 ties on Wednesday morning, 06/11/24. SV Werder Bremen are set to take on SV Darmstadt 98 at the Weserstadion on Tuesday night, 03/12/24 (kick-off 20:45 CET).
SVW will come up against former head coach Florian Kohfeldt, who had previously spent over three years at the helm of the Green-Whites. Kohfeldt took charge of the Lilies in September 2024, as they won 3-2 (a.e.t.) against Dynamo Dresden in the second round.
Managing director for sport Clemens Fritz: "It's definitely a special tie due to the connection to Florian. I had a feeling this would happen, to be honest. Darmstadt have been able to get back on track in recent weeks and fought hard in Dresden. We're delighted to be playing at home."
Head of professional football Peter Niemeyer: "I'm particularly pleased that we will be at home. It's always nice to come up against a team that you once played for."
Head coach Ole Werner: "First and foremost, I'm happy that we've been drawn at home. Naturally, we want to advance to the next round. There's still some time to go before the game, so our focus for now is on the game against Kiel."
Marco Friedl: "It's nice to be at home and to have a reunion with Flo. Darmstadt are a good side, but we're at home and so we have to reach the next round. So soon after the game though, I'm not really concerned about it right now."
Romano Schmid: "It's always nice to have a cup game in Bremen. I'm looking forward to going up against Florian - he gave me my first minutes in the Bundesliga. Still, it's sure to be more special for him as a Bremen native than it will be for me. For me, it's just about reaching the next round."
