The Berlin U14 team poses together in front of a soccer goal on a grass pitch. The team wears uniformly bright, turquoise-colored jerseys and stands in two rows - a kneeling row in front and a standing row behind. In the middle is a goalkeeper in dark kit with gloves. To the side of the team are several members of the coaching and support staff in dark sportswear. Some team members show a clenched fist towards the camera. Trees and a thick green fence can be seen in the background, giving the picture a natural setting.

The focal point of the photo is a tall, silver-colored trophy made of shiny metal. The trophy tapers towards the bottom and is made of several V-shaped elements arranged on top of each other, which are open at the top. It stands on a small black base with a gold-colored plaque. The text "NIKE YOUTH CUP" can be read on the plaque. The background is blurred and shows a green lawn reminiscent of a sports field. Behind it, dark rows of seats can be seen, like in a stadium. A blurred, standing person in sportswear can be seen on the right edge of the picture. Due to the shallow depth of field, the visual focus is clearly on the trophy.

The C and D junior finals cannot take place on Ascension Day as planned. Ticket holders must be aware of this.

The photo shows the lower body of a person playing sport on a green soccer pitch. The person is moving forward, apparently sprinting. He is wearing blue short sports shorts, white knee-high socks and orange soccer boots. The white jersey is only partially visible; blue lettering and a back number can be seen on the back. There is a captain's armband with colorful rainbow stripes on the upper arm. On the right of the picture, a white soccer with colored patterns is lying on the grass, a few meters away from the person running. White pitch lines mark the ground. The background is blurred and only shows more grass, with no recognizable spectators or buildings. The image conveys an outdoor sporting situation during a soccer match or training session.

In response to a recent ruling by the association court, the BFV reminds its clubs of the importance of up-to-date player photos in DFBnet.

In the foreground of the photo is a metal trophy. The trophy is tall and slim in shape and consists of several slightly curved elements that are open at the top. The surface appears shiny and reflective, with gold and silver tones that shimmer depending on the incidence of light. The material appears to be structured and casts small reflections of light. In the background, a large crowd of people can be seen out of focus, presumably in the stands or in a stadium. The many colors - including yellow, green and white - indicate clothing, flags or seats. Individual people are not recognizable, as the focus of the image is clearly on the trophy. The scene obviously takes place outdoors, in daylight. The picture conveys the impression of a sporting competition or an award ceremony in which the trophy is representative of success, achievement or a title won.

Top matches and potential underdog stories: this is what the final day of the defendo Cup on May 14 has in store. Tickets are available online.

The photo shows a large group of people in the stands of a soccer stadium. The people are sitting and standing on rows of red seats that extend upwards in steps. Many of those present raise both arms upwards and show open hands. The people are wearing various items of clothing, including jackets, sweaters, shirts and scarves in different colors, including green, black, grey and blue. Some people are wearing glasses, others headgear. The group appears diverse in age. In the lower foreground is a red balustrade with white, clearly legible lettering. It reads: "STADION AN DER ALTEN FÖRSTEREI". The lettering is large and high-contrast. Further rows of red seats can be seen in the background, most of which are empty, as well as staircases with light-colored steps and red railings. The architecture of the stadium is clearly structured and symmetrical. The scene is taken in daylight, the lighting is uniform, without strong shadows. The image conveys the impression of a communal event or a group meeting in a well-known public place. The people are placed next to each other on an equal footing and are part of the scene together.

This year, Berlin hosted the "Thank You Weekend" for the DFB honorary award winners from Westphalia, Saxony and Berlin.

The photo shows three children sitting on the ground, apparently taking a break during a soccer match. They are wearing blue jerseys with white back numbers and the word "Köpenick" on the back. All three are wearing black shorts and soccer boots. The children are sitting next to each other on a meadow that serves as a playing field and are looking in the same direction, presumably towards the ongoing game. In the foreground, part of a sign reading "DER" can be seen. The background is blurred, but other people and the boundaries of the playing field are recognizable, indicating an outdoor sporting event.

We are looking for committed people to join our FairPlay team.

A scene can be seen on a green soccer pitch with artificial turf. In the foreground, the legs and feet of two people playing soccer can be seen in motion. Both are wearing sports shoes, long socks and shorts in different colors. A soccer rolls across the pitch just in front of them in the direction of play. The shot deliberately concentrates on the action on the ground: the focus is on the steps, ball and playing surface. Faces and upper bodies are not visible. In the blurred background, other people on the edge of the pitch can be glimpsed. The image conveys dynamism and shows a sporting game situation without highlighting or identifying individual people.
