CUP HANDOVER FOR THE DFB CUP FINAL IN BERLIN

05.05.2017

I have the honor to hand over the Cup on the occasion of the 74th DFB Cup Final on May 27th between Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund in front of about 80,000 spectators in the Berlin Olympic Stadium. And today I can already test-lift the trophy at the traditional "Cup Handover" in the ceremony hall of the Berlin City Hall which took place in a respectful atmosphere and was imbued with mutual respect and all-round anticipation.
