What are Union Berlin's objectives?

Zietz's expectations are not unreasonable, as Union Berlin has assembled a strong squad. After Amber Tysiak and Lia Kamber joined the team in the winter, Jill Janssens, Leela Egli, and national players Jella Veit and Lisanne Gräwe arrived in Köpenick in the summer.

What does the preparation look like?

Eta laid the foundation for a successful season during the training camp in Neuruppin. The Iron Ones played against HSV (2:2) on the previous Saturday. Before the Bundesliga season starts on August 21 with the opening game against FC Bayern at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei, the tasks in the tests will become even more challenging.

What's next?

Union will host Inter Milan on August 9 for the official season opener. And as the club announced on Tuesday, they will travel to Paris a week later, on August 15, for a general rehearsal against the four-time French champion Paris Saint-Germain. With a current league standing of 11th place, 32 points, 8 wins, 8 draws, and 13 losses from the previous season, Union Berlin wants to perform better in the new season.
