2024 DFB-Pokal final

The 2024 DFB-Pokal final decided the winner of the 2023–24 DFB-Pokal, the 81st season of the annual German football cup competition. The match was played on 25 May 2024 at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.[3][4]

The match featured 1. FC Kaiserslautern, a 2. Bundesliga side, and Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen. Leverkusen won the match 1–0 for their second DFB-Pokal title.[5][6]

With the win, Leverkusen completed their first domestic double, and therefore will face Bundesliga runners-up VfB Stuttgart in the 2024 DFL-Supercup.[7]

Furthermore, since Leverkusen already qualified for the Champions League through the Bundesliga, the seventh-placed team in the Bundesliga, TSG Hoffenheim, earned qualification for the group stage of the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League, and the play-off round spot of the 2024–25 UEFA Conference League went to the team in eighth, 1. FC Heidenheim.[8]

If the score was still level, a penalty shoot-out was used to determine the winner.[9]
