She is Arminia Bielefeld achieved an unprecedented fact when qualified for the final Germany CupIt became the first team of the third division to reach this stage from the foundation of the Bundesliga in 1963/64. After removing Werder Bremen (2-1) in the quarterfinals and the current champion, Bayer Leverkusen of Xabi Alonso and Grimaldo (2-1), in the semifinal, the team led by Mitch kniat This is a step away from making history.

So far, only three teams from the third division have played the final contest (Hertha BSC II, Energie Cottbus and Union Berlin), but no one managed to rise with the trophy. To achieve this, the Arminia Bielefeld Not only will he sign a sporting work, but he will also receive an important economic impulse.

However, the greatest effect is in the world. As a champion of CupShe is Arminia Bielefeld get a quota in the group of group of Europe League, that will change the distribution of areas for the equipment of Bundesliga. Since 2015, the Runner -up contest has not inherited the quota if the winner is already classified, thus Germany will lose a representative in European competitions.
