September 27, 2025
On Sunday, Season 3 of the Icon League kicks off at the ZAG Arena in Hanover. After a four-month break, the question arises as to how well the individual teams are set up. Can last season's favorites confirm their good form, or have the teams from the lower half of the table strengthened so well that they can now challenge at the top?
Both the Fokus Eagles and the Bavarian Clique definitely had a need for action, as they face each other directly on the first matchday. Both teams fell far short of their expectations and missed the Final 8. The Bavarian Clique, led by Franck Ribéry, lost the last five games of the regular season and even ended up in last place in the standings.
However, both teams were very active in the transfer market and have strengthened. With a win in this game, a team can underline its new ambitions for the new season.
FC OneFootball and The Pack were indeed present at the final tournament in the Max-Schmeling-Halle, but they had envisioned their performance differently. Both teams failed in the quarterfinals. In the regular season, things went particularly well for FC OneFootball, as they had won the last ten games. They aim to continue this streak.
The opponent of The Pack in the quarterfinals was none other than the eventual champion Berlin City. On the first matchday, the Berliners face the opponent from the final, Plyrs United.
In a thrilling comeback, the Plyrs fought back but were then defeated in overtime. Now they have the chance to strike back and avenge their loss in the final.
Here is an overview of all the matches:
- Buzz Club vs. TBA
- FC Berlin City vs. Plyrs United
- B2B United vs. DNA Athletics
- FC OneFootball vs. The Pack FC
- FC Bavarian Clique vs. FOKUS Eagles
- Wontorriors FC vs. Two Stripes United
- Berlin Underdogs vs. SC Bürgeramt
