Now things are getting serious for Delay Sports. The prominent new team around the social and streaming stars Elias Nerlich (24) and Sidney Friede (24) will play their historically first competitive game on Sunday (2 p.m.) in Berlin.
At the home premiere of the district league in the qualifying round for the Berlin State Cup, the A-League team 1. Traber FC was a guest. Delay trainer Andreas Schild: “On paper, Traber is the favorite.”
The often young fans especially want to see the Delay internet stars. Almost 800 tickets were sold in advance online.
Delay board member Florian Fischer: “Then we stopped the sale. We wanted to estimate how many people would come.”
The box office is open. A ticket costs 5 euros. Over 1000 visitors are expected. A maximum of 2000 fans are allowed in the Preussenstadion.
In the future, the team will advertise the German Cancer Aid on the chest. The club turned down lucrative shirt sponsor offers.
