The SVD is back on the training ground! On Saturday morning (June 22nd), head coach Torsten Lieberknecht invited his team onto the pitch in the Merck Stadium and the Lilies trained for almost 90 minutes in front of around 1,000 spectators. After the team started preparations on Thursday (June 20) with numerous tests and examinations, the players now had a ball on their feet for the first time.
One day before the start of public training, SV Darmstadt 98 can announce another new signing: Central defender Aleksandar Vukotic is moving to the Böllenfalltor from SV Wehen Wiesbaden.
On June 22nd, SV 98 professionals step onto the football field for the first time in preparation. The opening training session for head coach Torsten Lieberknecht's team will take place at 11am in the Merck Stadium at the Böllenfalltor and is of course open to the public. You can find all information about the unit on Saturday lunchtime here.
Getting up early was the motto for the SV Darmstadt 98 players on Thursday morning (June 20th). When new signing Sergio Lopez arrived at the Böllenfalltor shortly before 7 a.m., he wasn't even the first lily at the Merck Stadium. Almost half an hour earlier, the first players from SV Darmstadt 98 had already arrived at the function building on Nieder-Ramstädter-Straße. And no matter which face you looked into that Thursday morning, there was a smile on every face. After almost five weeks of summer break, the Lilies at the Bölle start preparing for the 2024/25 second division season. After medical and performance tests, coach Torsten Lieberknecht's team returns to the pitch on Saturday (June 22nd/11am).
SV Darmstadt 98 has made various personnel and structural adjustments in the sporting area in order to prepare itself even better for the tasks and challenges that arise in the future.
The Lilies have signed defensive midfielder Kai Klefisch (24) from SC Paderborn to SV Darmstadt 98. Both clubs agreed not to disclose the transfer terms.
It will soon be sweating again on the 98er training ground. The Lilien players return to the Böllenfalltor on Thursday and Friday for medical checks and performance tests, and on Saturday (June 22nd) the first public session awaits coach Torsten Lieberknecht’s boys on the pitch. The ball has been rolling at the European Championships in Germany since last Friday (June 14th). We asked our boys for their tips for the game between Germany and Hungary and also looked at how much Darmstadt 98 has in the European Championship. You can find out all this in our weekly section “Lilies across the Board”.
The fifth newcomer for the 2024/25 season is defender Sergio Lopez. The 25-year-old was born in Remscheid, but then enjoyed his football training with Real in Madrid. We took a closer look at our wing player and would like to introduce you to Sergio.
The fourth newcomer for the 2024/25 season is goalkeeper Karol Niemczycki. The 24-year-old already has a lot of international experience, in addition to the Polish first division, Karol has already played in the Netherlands and with Fortuna Düsseldorf in the 2nd Bundesliga. We took a closer look at our new keeper and would like to introduce you to Karol.
