Saxony Cup final: Lok Leipzig vs. Aue - A fight for fame and honor!

The eagerly awaited final of the Wernesgrüner Saxony Cup between 1. FC Lok Leipzig and Erzgebirge Aue will take place on May 24, 2025. The game will be played at the Bruno Plache Stadium in Probstheida and starts at 4:30 p.m. Both teams bring a number of stories and challenges to the stadium and the anticipation for the duel is already palpable.

Around 12,000 spectators are expected in the almost sold-out stadium, including around 2,000 fans from Aue. 1. FC Lok won the championship in the Regionalliga Northeast and is now aiming for promotion to the 3rd league. Coach Jochen Seitz emphasizes that no consideration will be given to possible relegation games in the final. For him and the team, the only thing that counts is winning the Saxony Cup. Aue's coach Jens Härtel also expresses respect for the Lok team, which is characterized by team spirit and robustness. However, he has announced that the personnel situation of his team, which secured relegation in the third division, has deteriorated.
MDR reports that both coaches expect an intense game.

Excitement in the run-up to the final

The current final is also part of the tenth nationwide “Amateur Finals Day”, on which a total of 20 finals will be played. The expectations of fans from both camps are correspondingly high. Lok Leipzig reported that only 300 remaining tickets are available and that the box office will remain closed on Saturday, which illustrates the high demand. Härtel and Seitz are looking forward to the encounter with optimism and hope that their players' physical condition will improve by game day. Both Aue and Lok Leipzig have a lot to gain and will do everything they can to win the trophy.
The L-IZ informs about the teams' preparations.

After all the challenges this season, the final is an opportunity for both teams to prove themselves and crown the season with a title. The encounter promises an exciting match that could go down in the history of the Saxony Cup. The action will also be broadcast live on sportschau.de, which also allows fans to follow the game up close.
