Fortuna Düsseldorf: Fans challenged - comeback against Nuremberg!

Fortuna Düsseldorf: Fans challenged - comeback against Nuremberg!

on Saturday evening, April 25, 2025, the game against 1. FC Nürnberg is on the plan for Fortuna Düsseldorf. The kick -off is at 8:30 p.m. and expectations are high. The association has promoted the duel intensively and already sold around 39,000 tickets. The question that is in the room is whether there will be a good mood in the arena, especially after the last experiences.

The support of the fans is considered crucial in this important match. Club boss Alexander Jobst and manager Klaus Allofs urge the supporters to actively support the team. Despite a single point behind in third place in the table, Fortuna has collected ten points in the last five games. This shows that the team is on the right track, even if the playing style has so far been perceived as suboptimal.

The review of the last games

In one of the last games, a "free" match against Prussia Münster, the Fortuna was able to lure 52,000 spectators to the stadium. This was not only the first victory of the Düsseldorf team this season, but also the best performance of the team in the past few weeks. The fans who loudly supported the team's performance despite prior dissatisfaction played a crucial role. Coach Daniel Thioune had asked the followers before the game for support, and the atmosphere was consistently positive.

The scene is particularly mentioned when Jamil Siebert fought for a ball loss and was celebrated enthusiastically. After the game, both players and coaches were full of praise for the support of the fans. Thioune expressly thanked: "Many thanks to the fans. That helped to push us over the line." Goal scorer Dawid Kownacki could not assess the importance of the atmosphere high enough and also appealed to the fans to appear numerous in the future.

The challenge for the upcoming game

Nevertheless, the challenge remains. It is noted that the mood is often better outside than at home. The hard fan core always gives full throttle, while the rest of the stadium needs more incentives to become active. The players are aware of this and know that with a strong performance against Nuremberg not only points, but also the hearts of the fans.

Fortuna is facing an ultimate test. The mood will be decisive and all eyes are focused on the followers - will it support the team loudly or does the stadium remain behind the expectations? The association hopes for a lively atmosphere and passionate support, which has often been the key to success in the past.
