MSV Duisburg is in the midst of a promotion battle in the 3rd division. More and more fans want to watch the action live in the stadium.

Even though MSV Duisburg has lost the good starting position it had in the first few weeks, Coach Dietmar Hirsch’s team is still performing well above expectations and, in third place in the 3rd league, is in the thick of the promotion battle. SC Verl and Energie Cottbus are just ahead of MSV Duisburg, while Rot-Weiss Essen, Hansa Rostock, and VfL Osnabrück are just behind. After the away game at VfB Stuttgart II on Sunday, January 18, at 1:30 p.m., the first home game against SSV Jahn Regensburg is scheduled for Saturday, January 24, at 4:30 p.m.

And it seems that many fans want to be there for the remaining Zebra home games. MSV has already sold over 1,000 season tickets for the second half of the season. To be precise, the figure stood at 1,004 on Wednesday, January 14. This means that the Zebras have sold 8,819 season tickets so far.

Excluding the 1,004 winter latecomers, 7,815 season tickets were sold in the first half of the season. This means that more than one-seventh of new season ticket holders have been added in the winter. A strong signal.

The Zebras still have ten home games to play. Season tickets are still available in all areas of the stadium, including the fan curve.

Just like the fans, the MSV Duisburg players are also eager for the rest of the season. “The atmosphere is really good. We often go out for meals together at home and are a close-knit bunch, which is what sets us apart. Two new players have joined us, Moritz Montag has left – that’s part of soccer. I was happy for him and even advised him to leave the club because he can now play more, be happy again, and rediscover the joy of soccer,” said captain Ali Hahn in a recent Forecasting interview.

“Who wouldn’t want that when you’re at the top? You can’t plan something like that. With Münster, we wanted to stay in the league. The best cautionary example is Sandhausen from last winter. They bought everything, paid salaries from the second division shelf, and were relegated. The most important thing is that the team is intact and everyone would walk through fire for each other. No matter how fast or good someone is, the human aspect has to be right. You know me. I’m not someone who talks big first, but someone who gets going first.”
