However, after a strong show of support, Wolfsburg supporters are going to get at least one thing they want from this season — a throwback to the club’s old crest that it wore prior to 2002. The crest will be used in the 2027/28 season onward, which is something that supporters have been asking for in recent months: The club released its own post on the matter as well: It has been a nightmare of a campaign for Wolfsburg and its fans alike. With Sunday’s games still to play, the Wolves are clinging on to 16th place and in major danger of an automatic relegation spot.

Things could get hairy for the Wolves. *If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on Acast, Spotify, Apple, or any leading podcast distributor…*
