Bayer Leverkusen’s victory in the DFB-Pokal has resulted in significant outcomes for Heidenheim and Hoffenheim in terms of European competition. Heidenheim will be participating in a European competition for the first time, while Hoffenheim, despite finishing in the seventh position in the Bundesliga, will now transition to the Europa League. The Europa League spot that is typically awarded to the cup winner has been redirected to Hoffenheim instead of 1. FC Kaiserslautern, the final’s opponent. Meanwhile, the eighth-placed team, 1. FC Heidenheim, will begin in the play-off round for the Conference League.
1. FC Heidenheim’s achievement of securing a spot in the Play-off round for the UEFA Conference League marks a significant milestone for the club. The team demonstrated strength and determination throughout their Bundesliga campaign, notably defeating FC Bayern Munich along the way. The club’s slogan, „Gekommen, um zu bleiben“ (Here to stay), exemplifies their intent to make their mark in European competition. With five slots available for qualification through Play-offs, Heidenheim awaits the announcement of their opponents for the upcoming matches on August 22nd and 29th.
In the context of the UEFA Conference League’s new format introduced in its fourth season, the competition will feature a single league phase involving 36 teams. Each team will face six different opponents, with the top eight teams advancing directly to the Round of 16. Teams ranking ninth to twenty-fourth will compete in Playoff matches to secure a place in the next round. The pinnacle of the competition, the Final, is scheduled to take place on May 28, 2025, in Warsaw.
As a result of Bayer Leverkusen’s triumph in the DFB-Pokal, TSG Hoffenheim will participate in the Europa League, joining an increased field of 36 teams for the upcoming season. Similar to the Conference League, the Europa League will adopt a league format, with each club playing a single match against eight opponents (four home, four away). The competition is set to commence on September 25th and 26th, 2024, with the final scheduled for May 21, 2025, at the Estadio de San Mamés in Bilbao, Spain. The reshuffling of European competition slots following Leverkusen’s victory has led to Heidenheim and Hoffenheim benefiting from enhanced opportunities on the continental stage.
