Lilies at the Heinerfest | Reunion with Sulu & Sirigu

The Heinerfest is just around the corner, and of course, the SV Darmstadt 98 team will be there. The Lilien players will mingle with the crowd on Thursday evening (July 3rd), sign autographs, pose for selfies, and interact with the fans. At the same time, the team is preparing for its second friendly of the current preseason. Their opponent on Wednesday evening (July 2nd) is Viktoria Aschaffenburg. There, the team will face two familiar faces: Sandro Sirigu, once a Lilien player himself, is now the sporting director of the Bavarian regional league team. And on the sidelines will be Aytac Sulu, another former Lilien player who now serves as head coach.
