Nürnberger and Boëtius in action with their national teams

The majority of the Lilien players are currently on well-deserved summer vacation. However, two SV 98 players are still in action for their national teams: Fabian Nürnberger is playing two friendlies for Bulgaria, and Jean-Paul Boëtius is playing for the Surinamese national team, initially in the World Cup qualifiers before potentially being called up for the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Important games for Boëtius

Jean-Paul Boëtius has an intense and exciting few weeks ahead. The midfielder has been called up to the Suriname national team for the first time. In addition to his Dutch citizenship, the 31-year-old also holds citizenship of the South American country. Although Boëtius has already played one game for the Netherlands‘ senior national team (against France in 2014), it was not a competitive match. Therefore, a change of national team is still possible.

Suriname faces two important competitions. First, the South Americans aim to gain important points in the CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers, at home against Puerto Rico (June 7th/12:00 AM CEST) and away against El Salvador (June 11th/03:00 AM CEST). After two matches, Suriname is in first place in its qualifying Group F with six points.

The group stage of the CONCACAF Gold Cup – a competition to determine the football champion of North, Central America, and the Caribbean – begins on June 16. Suriname will face Costa Rica (June 16, 12:00AM CEST), Mexico (June 19, 04:00AM CEST), and the Dominican Republic (June 23, 4:00AM CEST) in the group stage. However, the final squad nominations for this tournament have yet to be made.

SV 98 wishes you much success and all the best, Djanga!

Nuremberg tests with Bulgaria

Fabian Nürnberger will play two friendlies against Cyprus (June 6th at 6pm) and in Greece (June 10th at 8:45pm). The 25-year-old has made seven international appearances for Bulgaria, starting in all of them. These two matches will serve as Bulgaria’s preparation for World Cup qualifying, which begins on September 4th with a clash against European champions Spain.

Good luck in the upcoming friendlies, Fabi!

The end of an era. Fabian Holland's twelfth season in the Lilies' jersey will be his last with SV 98. The 35-year-old's contract, which expires at the end of the season, will not be renewed. The club informed Holland of this decision in a confidential meeting. Both club and player agree to focus entirely on achieving the best possible end to the season until the final match and that any plans for a farewell celebration will depend on how the rest of the season unfolds.

Darmstadt had managed to hold their own against the fourth-placed team in the Hessenliga for almost the entire match. "A very bitter defeat after a really good performance," explained U21 coach Sebastian Schmitt to sv98.de.

Opposition Check: SpVgg Greuther Fürth

It was the sixth matchday of the 2017/18 season, a sunny Sunday in September, and the second division fixture between SpVgg Greuther Fürth and Fortuna Düsseldorf was on the schedule. With Florian Neuhaus, Friedhelm Funkel, and Serdar Dursun on or off the pitch, the duel ended 3-1 for Fürth – thanks in part to a brace from Dursun. At first glance, probably just a typical second division victory. But historically significant and unforgettable for everyone in Fürth.
