District Cup final: Türk Gücü Friedberg against Beienheim – Who will win?

On Thursday, June 25, 2025, the district cup final will be played between Türk Gücü Friedberg and SKV Beienheim. The game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. on a neutral pitch in Nieder-Weisel. While the Friedbergers go into the match as a Hessen league team, Beienheim has to compete as an outsider after being relegated from the Verbandsliga Süd. In Türk Gücü's club history, the sixth district cup win in a row is at stake, which would represent an impressive record for the team. In total, they have already celebrated eight cup victories, which underlines the high importance of the competition, as sports director Metehan Karadavut emphasizes.

Coach Enis Dzihic has scheduled two training sessions for the final in order to optimally prepare his team. However, they will have to do without the trio of Felix Koob, Demyan Imek and Patrick Schorr, who have changed clubs and are not available for this game. In addition, players who move to a new club from July 1st may not be used. After the final, the team expects five days of recovery time before training resumes on July 1st.

Beienheim is fighting for prestige

Beienheim, on the other hand, goes into the game as a challenger, but still has high ambitions. According to SKV chairman Frank Hachenburger, the prestige of the game is enormous and the team is eager to win the cup. “Once a cup winner, always a cup winner,” one could take Beienheim’s only district cup victory in 1996 as a motto. In the recent past, they failed to win against FV Bad Vilbel in the 2011 final.

Coach Dominik Reichardt highlights his team's potential, but admits that continuity has been lacking in the current season. In recent weeks, Beienheim has resumed training after a summer break, but some players are currently absent due to vacation. However, captain and goalscorer Steffen Münk is expected to be ready to cheer on his teammates in the final.

Favorite role and outsider chances

In an exciting starting position, a team will be competing that has the experience of five wins from the last six league games, while the other team is hoping for a comeback after relegation. The clear favorite role for Türk Gücü at first glance is put into perspective by the attentive analysis of the coach and the board. “Everything is possible in a single game,” says Dzihic, emphasizing the special nature of such encounters. Based on the number of spectators, the Friedbergers are expecting around 1,000 fans, while a certain pride in the multicultural team, which was once founded by Turkish guest workers, also shines through.

The sport is not only about competition, but also about community: regardless of the outcome of the final, Türk Gücü players plan to have a meal together with their families to promote the family atmosphere and team spirit.

In the end it will be seen whether TK Gücü Friedberg can continue its successful streak or whether Beienheim can win the cup again after 29 years. In any case, the anticipation for this duel is palpable and the region is excited about what is to come.
