In a crucial match tomorrow at 2 pm, the VfB-U21 will face Hoffenheim II in their bid for promotion to the third league, battling it out against the Stuttgarter Kickers. Sebastian Hoeneß, head coach at VfB, will be watching the game on TV before the professional team’s match against Gladbach, showing his support for the young talents. The team is hoping to secure a spot in the higher division.
If the U21 team secures the promotion on Saturday, they plan to maintain a sustainable approach without drastically increasing the budget for the professional team. The focus will remain on the long-term development of talented players within the club. The potential promotion would provide the young players with an opportunity to progress their skills at a higher level and gain valuable experience.
Among the changes anticipated with a return to the third league is the departure of Dejan Galjen, the striker who has been a key player with 20 goals. Galjen, likely to leave VfB in the summer due to intense competition for promotion to higher divisions, may find a new opportunity in the second or third league. His departure signifies the competitive nature of football as players seek different paths to advancement and growth in the sport.
