City council and 1st CfR Pforzheim are placing their wagers on the DFB Cup game set in Pforzheim

The city of Pforzheim and football club 1. CfR Pforzheim have made a significant stride in their efforts to host the upcoming DFB-Pokal match against Bayer Leverkusen. A constructive discussion between city officials and the CfR board was described as a first crucial step in this process.

Mayor Peter Boch, along with city works and participating departments, engaged in a productive conversation with the CfR chairman, Markus Geiser. The focus of the meeting was to discuss the conditions necessary for the match to be held safely and legally at the Holzhof Stadium.

During the meeting, CfR presented a concept for the event, which was met with satisfaction by Geiser. However, he acknowledged the complex legal situation surrounding the match, emphasising the importance of collaboration between the city and the club to ensure a legally sound and secure event.

Boch echoed this sentiment, stating that the goal is to host the major sporting event in Pforzheim while adhering to all legal requirements and ensuring a secure water supply. The discussions on the conditions for the DFB-Pokal match will continue in the following week.

The outcome of these ongoing discussions will determine if the DFB-Pokal match between 1. CfR Pforzheim and Bayer Leverkusen can be held at the Holzhof Stadium. To make this possible, key requirements include ensuring all emergency exits and escape routes are kept clear, enforcing stadium house rules, securing movable football goals according to safety standards, restricting unauthorized access to the playing field and technical areas, designating and training authorized personnel to exercise house rights, and promptly addressing any disturbances in coordination with local police if necessary.

The city of Pforzheim and the city works will now quickly define the corresponding conditions for the match. As the discussions progress, both parties remain optimistic about the potential for hosting this exciting event in Pforzheim.
