Hamburg host rivals St Pauli in German League top-flight clash
Gulf Today
|August 29, 2025
Fierce city rivals Hamburg and St Pauli resume hostilities in the Bundesliga on Friday, 14 years since their last topflight clash.
-
Six-time German champions Hamburg, known as HSV in Germany, were relegated in 2018 and endured a seven-year stint in the second division before winning promotion at the end of last season.
Hamburg's toil in the second flight of the Bundesliga was made worse by having to watch city rivals Pauli winning promotion a year earlier.
In terms of sporting success, Pauli have historically been overshadowed by Hamburg, one of only three German clubs to win the European Cup.
But while success is not only measured in sporting achievements for the cult club from Hamburg’s notorious Reeperbahn district, Pauli showed they belong in the top flight last season.
