New edition after 75 years: The Interzonal Game

In September 2024, after 75 years, city selection teams from Sonneberg and Neustadt near Coburg will meet to commemorate a legendary match between their football ancestors. In the summer of 1949, directly on the inter-zone border (the Federal Republic of Germany was a few weeks old, the GDR had not yet been founded) in front of 15-25,000 spectators, both teams played not for points or medals, but for the unity of Germany.
