Borussia to visit FC Erzgebirge Aue in the first round of the DFB-Pokal | OneFootball

The Foals’ first competitive game of the season will see them take on FC Erzgebirge Aue in the first round of the DFB-Pokal. Aue finished sixth in the 3. Liga in the season just gone. Former player Nils Petersen, along with DFB vice-president Peter Frymuth, carried out the draw at the German Football Museum in Dortmund.

The match will take place between 16th and 19th August, one week before the Bundesliga season gets underway. The exact dates and times for the fixtures are usually announced 10 to 12 days after the draw.

Borussia were knocked out in the quarter-finals of last season’s competition after a 2-1 defeat to 1. FC Saarbrücken. The Foals have won the DFB-Pokal three times, most recently in 1995 following a 3-0 win over VfL Wolfsburg.
