Tractor Pentz does without MV state cup-players on vacation!

The tension in the sports landscape of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is increasing: The draw of the first round in the MV state cup 2025/26 has excited many clubs. While the interest in this traditional competition is unbroken, there are also unexpected turns. The Tractor Pentz association, a representative from the national class season III, voluntarily forego participation. As reports nordkurier.de, the decision was made primarily due to the summer vacation. Chairman Markus Borgwardt said that during this time they would rather host a friendly game to keep the team fit. In addition, a cancellation of the game would have been a fine that the association wanted to avoid.

A total of 99 of the possible 101 teams have expressed their interest in the trophy. This once again shows the popularity of the competition in the region. Relay manager Peter Dluzewski described the number of interested clubs as very respectable. In the first round, 35 games are held in the areas of East and West. For example, the district cup winner Demminer SV 91 meets FSV Malchin. The national class teams Blau-Weiß 21 Jarmen and SV 90 Görmin also have interesting duels in front of them if they meet SV Rollwitz and TSV Wustrow.

record winner Hansa Rostock back in the competition

In the second main round of the Lübz Pils Landeszal, another exciting meeting will be held next Sunday: FSV Bentwisch and SV Warnemünde meet. Also the record cup winner F.C. Hansa Rostock will be represented again in the competition. After a short descent from the 2nd Bundesliga, the team, which has won a total of ten titles in this trophy, can hope for a successful return. Hansa Rostock won the trophy for the first time in 2011 and triumphed six times in a row between 2015 and 2020 in the following years.

After a freely in the first round, the third division club meets the association league team FSV Kühlungsborn on Saturday, which was entering the semi-finals last season. It remains to be seen whether the record cup winner can continue his dominance in this competition. In addition, the incumbent state cup winner will compete against SG 03 Ludwigslust/Grabow on Friday evening, while the last district representative in the competition, FC-KSG Lalendorf, will play against FC Schönberg 95 on Saturday.
