FC St. Pauli preseason wrap‑up and Hamburg player ties

Entities: Marcel Rapp · AFC Bournemouth · Faride Alidou · FC St. Pauli · Ceesay

Overview

Marcel Rapp’s preseason project entered its final stage in late July as St. Pauli wrapped up a training camp in Flachau. The women’s side recorded a 4‑1 victory over AFC Bournemouth in a test match, while the U23 squad saw several arrivals and departures. Rapp praised the squads’ development and clarified that defender Ceesay’s injury, first feared serious, proved to be minor. The club confirmed the signing of 33‑year‑old forward Branimir Hrgota and continued to monitor the fitness of newcomers Sam Klein and Adam Dzwigala. A club podcast highlighted winger Arkadiusz Pyrka’s work rate ahead of the 2. Bundesliga opener on 9 August against Fürth. St. Pauli reiterated its commitment to LGBTQI+ rights, planning to display a rainbow‑themed flag at the Hamburg CSD. An analysis of the 2. Liga showed a strong Hamburg connection, with twelve Hamburg‑born players active in the division, only one of whom – Faride Alidou – is currently on St. Pauli’s roster.
