German Cup final 2018
An electric atmosphere and nail-biting football were guaranteed at the German Cup final in Berlin’s Olympiastadion on 05/19/2018, when Eintracht Frankfurt beat record winners and champions FC Bayern Munich by 3 goals to 1. Liga Travel played a crucial role in allowing Eintracht Frankfurt to concentrate on the task in hand, as the sports travel and event specialist took on the responsibility of delivering flawless travel and event management.
As Germany’s biggest sporting event of the year, the German Cup final is hugely significant in terms of publicity and sponsorship, and Liga Travel proved that their organizational skills could rise to the occasion. Liga Travel made sure of the best possible accommodation, reliable travel to and from the match, as well as transfers throughout the weekend, for the Eintracht Frankfurt players and staff, plus delegation members, sponsors, guests and fans.
The actual final on the Saturday was bookended by two other highlights. On the eve of the match, the club invited 1200 guests to a celebration in the “Frankfurter Botschaft” restaurant and the crowning glory of the weekend was the final banquet, when the players showed off the German Cup to 450 overjoyed guests, using the slogan “The Return of the Cup”.
Travel- and Event management
One point of contact for effective travel and event management
The competition’s knock-out system means the German Cup final is a challenge for organizers and finalists. Plenty of experience, a wide network of service providers and detailed, long-term preparation covering a range of potential scenarios are crucial in this situation, as the teams going to the final in Berlin are only decided four weeks beforehand.
