The 1. FC Köln is the football club from the cathedral city. In the New sticker on T-Online you will find all the important messages about the “billy goats”.
Crazy world in the youngsters of 1. FC Köln: The U19 of the billy goats won 4: 3 at VfB Stuttgart in the round of 16. The team of coach Stefan Ruthenbeck was 0: 3 behind after only ten minutes. In the end, however, FC won after extra time.
Fayssal Harchaoui brought FC to 1: 3 before the half -time break (42nd). Fynn Schenten marked the 2: 3 in the 60th minute. In the added time of the regular season, it was central defender Assad Kotya-Fofana who still achieved the 3: 3 equalization (90+3. minute). In the extension everything looked like penalty shootout, but after a solo, Youssoupha Niang only scored seconds before the end of the game for 4: 3 victory (120+1. minute).
FC is in the quarter -finals for the German championship and will meet the winner of the game between Karlsruher SC and Hamburger SV in a week. The game increases on the weekend of May 2 to 4, 2025 in Cologne in the Franz-Kremer Stadium. The winner of this game moves into the semi -finals.
Linton Maina surprisingly did not return to the 1st FC Köln squad on Saturday. The offensive player completed the final training with the team, but then did not get on the bus for the away game at Hannover 96. After just one training week, Maina was not fit enough for a mission.
Linton Maina (to the outer band tear) and Max Finkgräfe (after muscle injury) should be back in the squad of 1st FC Köln on Sunday afternoon in Hanover. “At Linton it looks very good, it is available for the weekend. Max too, he will also be there,” announced coach Gerhard Struber.
With Maina, who missed six games due to his serious ankle injury, the best Cologne template is returned. “We have experienced long phases in the championship with a lower availability of so -called key players. Now we have one more with us again,” says Struber, who probably has to do without central defenders Julian Pauli (sick).

Florian Dietz remains loyal to the bad luck in Austria. The striker awarded by 1. FC Köln to the SCR Altach suffered a broken collarbone in the Bundesliga game against WSG Tyrol. Dietz had to be operated on on Thursday and fails for the rest of the season.
Particularly bitter: The 26-year-old had cheated his shoulder in a test game in March and then decided on conservative treatment without an operation to avoid early season. Now Dietz celebrated his comeback and fell on the damaged shoulder just a few minutes after his substitution. An X -ray examination brought the diagnosis of collarbone broken, so that the bottom of the table Altach in the relegation battle of the Austrian Bundesliga has to do without the Cologne attacker from now on.
The 1. FC Köln has succeeded in a real coup on the transfer market. With Marina Hegering, a highly decorated former national player will join FC for the coming season. The defender once became a German champion, four times DFB Cup winner, UEFA-Women’s Cup winner, Vice European Champion, bronze medal winner at the Olympics and was a champions League finalist. Now the 35-year-old has signed a two-year contract at the Geißbockheim.
“We are very pleased that we have managed to commit an outstanding defender with Marina Hegering who will help us with her experience with the development of our team. She is a leader and her vita speaks for herself. In addition, you notice that she will identify fully and entirely with the 1. FC Cologne,” said area manager Nicole Bender-Rummler.
For Hegering there were “so many arguments” to “switch to the 1. FC Köln. I like the club and used to live in Cologne. I like the city scary, the people are very special and the love of sport is noticeably great here. The anticipation of summer is huge for me.
