German clubs Rot‑Weiß Erfurt and FSV Jägersburg start pre‑season training

Rot‑Weiß Erfurt began its Regionalliga Nordost pre‑season on 23 June 2026, with coach Fabian Gerber introducing six new signings. The club hopes to challenge the league favourites despite limited resources. A key addition, forward Berk Inaler, remains sidelined with an Achilles tendon inflammation.

FSV Jägersburg resumed preparations three weeks after missing promotion in the Saarlandliga relegation playoffs. Coach Christian Frank added three players – midfielder Aaron Sänger, midfielder Francis Sesay and defender Pascal Fischer – and appointed Daniel Dahl as co‑trainer. The team aims to contend for the league’s top two places and improve on a season that saw a strong cup run but fell short of Oberliga promotion.
