The 1. FC Köln and club champion 1. FC Heidenheim 1846 have qualified for the final tournament of the Virtual Bundesliga Club Championship in FIFA 22.

The Cologne team secured their ticket against TSG Hoffenheim (1:0; 4:3). Tim "TheStrxngeR" Katnawatos offered the spectators virtual offensive football of the extra class in his individual match against the Hoffenheim Fabrice "Whiteezz05" White. The Effzeh player showed pressing and pressure to the goal from the first to the last minute.

"I probably played one of my best games of the season. In my opinion, it could have been five or six to zero," TheStrxnger said in the winner's interview.

His teammate has an ambitious goal: "I would like to defend the title, in any case," said Denis "Denis" Müller, who won the title with Heidenheim last year.

Denis' old club played in the second match of the evening for the entry into the final event. The Heidenheimers played three close games with Hannover 96 (0:0; 3:1; 0:0). In the end, Deniel "Denii" Mutic and Burak "Burak May" May were able to cheer and thus still have the chance to hold the title in Heidenheim.
