In recent days, SV 98 was privileged to welcome some very special guests. Club officials, coaches, and players from SVD Beaumont Texas visited the Lilies as part of the two clubs‘ partnership, which emphasises the social power of football. We summarise the days with our video.
The SV Darmstadt 98 board has applied for admission to the Regionalliga Südwest (Southwest Regional League) for the U21 team on time. The oldest youth team of the youth performance center (NLZ) was founded last summer with the goal of giving young players playing time in the senior division even earlier, thus easing the transition to the professional ranks. The team is comprised of the most talented players from the U17 and U19 levels, as well as transition players who were trained in the Lilies' NLZ. In the 30 games played so far this season, the average age of the Lilies' youngsters is 19.95 years. In their debut season, the Lilies' youngsters are currently fourth in the Hessenliga and within touching distance of the top spots.
In the LOTTO Hessenliga, the U21 team of SV Darmstadt 98 suffered an avoidable defeat despite a decent performance. The Lilies' second team lost 2-0 to Eintracht Stadtallendorf.
The season finale at the Bölle! On Matchday 34, the Lilies host SSV Jahn Regensburg at the Merck Stadium. Kickoff is on May 18th at 3:30pm. Member presales begin next Wednesday (April 16th at 12pm) both online and in the ticket shop at the Merck Stadium. You can find all further ticket information in this post.
In the end, it was one of those games where everyone could agree on the result.
