The DFL have released the fixture list for the 2022/23 season. The start of the season will see SC Freiburg travel to FC Augsburg, on the weekend of August 6th-7th. Borussia Dortmund will travel to the Europa-Park Stadion for SCF’s first home game of the campaign.

SC Freiburg can confirm that Luca Itter has left the club and has joined SpVgg Greuther Fürth on a permanent basis. The 23-year-old was on loan at The Cloverleaves last season.

The trip to Berlin has made us want more. SC Freiburg’s new DFB-Pokal campaign will get under way in Kaiserslautern after the first-round draw was made on Sunday evening.

SC Freiburg’s first team will return to the training pitch on June 27th. All the dates to remember for the team’s preparations ahead of the 2022/23 season are here.

The season is not yet over for six of SCF’s players. Nico Schlotterbeck, Philipp Lienhart, Roland Sallai, Ermedin Demirović, Wooyeong Jeong and Kiliann Sildillia are all away on international duty in June.

The Freiburg team were welcomed home with a rousing reception in front of the Stadttheater on Sunday, as more than 10,000 fans gathered in the Platz der Alten Synagoge. It was also a chance to say farewell to Andreas Kronenberg, Janik Haberer and Nico Schlotterbeck.

It wasn’t to be for SC Freiburg in Berlin. The club’s first ever DFB-Pokal final went all the way to the wire before RB Leipzig came out on top in the lottery of the penalty shootout. Maxi Eggestein (19') scored in the first half of normal time to give Freiburg the lead. Christopher Nkunku equalised (76') late on.
