The DFB-Pokal 2016/17 was the 74th edition of the men's soccer cup competition. The final took place on May 27, 2017 and, as has been customary since 1985, was held in the Berlin Olympic Stadium. Borussia Dortmund won the DFB Cup that year .

Since Borussia Dortmund had already qualified for the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League via the Bundesliga , the sixth in the Bundesliga final table, Hertha BSC , moved from qualification to the group stage and the seventh, SC Freiburg , received the free place as an additional participant in qualification.

As in previous years, only one team per club or corporation was allowed to participate in the games for the DFB club cup.

Innovations

For the first time, most of the finals of the 2015/16 national cups that qualify for the DFB Cup were played on May 28, 2016 and thus on one day, the "Amateurs Final Day". Das Erste broadcast all the games live in an almost eight-hour conference marathon, which was a novelty on German television.

Furthermore, the DFB-Pokal received a new logo, which is shown on the shirt sleeves of the players, on match days in the venues on the middle gang and in TV graphics.

In addition, a pilot project by the DFB began in the round of 16, through which a fourth substitution is possible in the event of an extension . The first team to use this rule was FC-Astoria Walldorf in the extension of the round of 16 against Arminia Bielefeld .

1st main round

The draw for the first main round took place on June 18, 2016 on ARD in the program “Beckmanns Sportschule” from Malente from 11:30 p.m.

The draw was carried out in two pots of 32 teams each.

In the first lottery pot were the 18 Bundesliga clubs of the 2015/16 season and the best 14 clubs of the 2nd Bundesliga of the 2015/16 season . In the second lottery pot landed the second division, who finished 15th to 18th in the season 15/16, the four best places in the 3rd division of the 2015/16 season and the representatives of the national associations.

During the draw, the U-17 national player and European champion Caroline Siems of the 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam youth acted as the “ticket fairy” and the DFB President Reinhard Grindel as the draw manager . This resulted in the following encounters (the league level in which the club is playing is indicated in brackets), which took place from 19 to 22 August 2016:
