About DFB Pokal
The German Cup, also known as the DFB-Pokal is a German elimination football tournament, which is the second most important national football competition in Germany after the Bundesliga.
The first edition of the tournament was held in 1935, but the competition was suspended from 1944 to 1953 due to World War II and the aftermath of the conflict. It was later re-started under its current format, which includes 64 teams: 36 teams from the Bundesliga and the Bundesliga II, the four best teams of the German third division and 24 clubs from regional associations. All rounds are decided in a one-game KO tie.
The winner of the DFB Pokal is awarded an entry to the UEFA Europa League. The 2017-18 season saw Eintracht Frankfurt defeating Bayern München at Olympiastadion in Berlin, which has served as the venue for the final match since 1985.
The 2018-19 DFB Pokal started on August 17, 2018, and is set to conclude on May 25, 2019. Bayern München is the most winning team in this competition, with 18 titles to their name.
Did you know? Six coaches share the honor of winning three DFB Pokal titles. The last manager to join this list was Thomas Schaaf when he led Werder Bremen to the title in 2009.
