Eight Neukölln Clubs Face Berlin Pokal Knockout Ties at Home This Weekend
Local clubs from Oberliga level down to Kreisliga prepare for knockout ties, giving residents direct access to watch and support district teams.
How we reported this
Eight Neukölln first teams remain in the Berliner Landespokal after the opening qualifying round reduced the field from 180 clubs to 128.
The cup matters now because every Neukölln side still standing plays its next match on Sunday, 18 August, offering residents an immediate chance to follow district sides without travelling far.
Where the local sides play
Four of the eight clubs host their opponents inside Neukölln boundaries. DJK Schwarz Weiß Neukölln meets Berliner Sport-Club at Stadion Britz-Süd. Neuköllner Sportfreunde 1907 faces SV Bosna Berlin 94 at Silbersteinsportplatz on Bambacherstraße. VfB Sperber Neukölln 1912 takes on SG Rotation Prenzlauer Berg at the Jubiläumssportplatz. BSV Grün Weiß Neukölln 1950 hosts Berliner AK 07 at the Sportplatz on Johannisthaler Chaussee.
Three further Neukölln sides travel within the city while one heads to Hellersdorf. SV Stern Britz 1889 plays at Neue Krugallee, VfB Concordia Britz 1916 visits Friedrich-Ebert-Stadion, and SV Tasmania Berlin journeys to Sportplatz Teterower Ring.
What supporters need to know before heading out
The source lists every fixture time and venue, so anyone wanting to attend can plan around the published schedule rather than guessing kick-off times. All four home games fall between 11.30 a.m. and 1 p.m., making them reachable by regular public transport for anyone based in Neukölln.
Residents who want to follow results without leaving home can check the full draw and live updates on the fupa.net Berlin Pokal page listed in the original report. The same site carries the confirmed line-ups once teams are named.
One Neukölln club has already shown what a home tie can deliver. TSV Rudow defeated Al-Dersimspor 5-2 at the Stadion an der Stubenrauchstraße on 16 August in front of nearly 100 spectators, with Matteo Günther scoring twice from set pieces. That result moved the Landesliga side into the second round and illustrated how quickly a single afternoon can shift a club’s season.
Anyone new to following the cup can start by picking one of the four Sunday home fixtures, arriving early enough to find a seat on the terraces, and watching how the lower-league sides test themselves against higher opposition. The knockout format means every match counts, so the next round of results will decide which Neukölln teams keep their run alive.
