The Caledonian Braves can confirm that'll we'll now be heading to Germany, to face Hamburg based side, Buchholzer FC in the 1st Round of the FENIX Trophy.
Originally drawn to face Venus Bucharest, the club were recently informed that our Romanian opposition would be unable to fulfil the Scottish leg of the tie. FENIX organisers then gave us two options: to face off against Venus in a one-legged tie in Romania, or face off against new opposition, Buchholzer in a two-legged tie.
Therefore, we put the decision to our owners, who overwhelmingly voted to face off against Buchholzer - who will replace Venus in the competition's 1st Round.
The club are pleased with the decision of our ownership community, and look forward to visiting the city of Hamburg, with their rich football history and culture. We'll also host our German opposition, for the Scottish leg of the tie.
The dates of these two fixtures will be confirmed in due course... and let's hope for a stronger turn of fortune than the Scots who travelled to Germany this summer!
WE'RE OFF TO GERMANY!
