Season

Start of pre-season training on 16 June. First friendly vs. VSG Altglienicke

Pre-season training will begin with two days of performance tests before the first session on 18 June. The first friendly of the summer will be a week later, on 25 June.

The summer break is already almost at an end for the Rothosen. Next week, new head coach Tim Walter will greet his players at the Volksparkstadion. The first two days will solely consist of various performance tests and medical examinations such as strength and endurance, which will give coaches a better idea of the player’s fitness levels before training begins on 18 June.

HSV will play their first pre-season friendly a week later, on Friday, 25 June against VSG Altglienicke. The club from the east of Berlin team play in the North-East regional league and finished the cancelled season in second place behind Viktoria Berlin. 66-year-old Karsten Heine is the head coach. His assistant is former pro and TV pundit in the second division, Torsten Mattuschka. The game will take place in Hamburg – time and venue yet to be determined.
