VfL Wolfsburg kicked off their training camp with an overwhelming 11-0 win over the ABB selection on July 3 2026. The result highlights the attacking firepower the club hopes to carry into the new season.

How did the friendly unfold?

Maximilian Arnold opened the scoring in the 12th minute, followed by a rapid double from Kevin Kraus in the 23rd and 27th minutes. By halftime Wolfsburg had already netted seven goals, including a hat‑trick by Timo Rossi. The ABB side struggled to create chances, managing only a single shot saved by goalkeeper Lukas Müller.

Which players stood out?

Young winger Noah Schulz scored three times, fueling his name in summer transfer rumors. Midfielder Julian Fischer contributed two assists, while defender Jan Klein unfortunately scored an own‑goal – a lucky break for the ABB side. Coach Oliver Koch praised the precision in finishing and the defensive solidity after the match.

What does the result mean for the season?

The decisive victory boosts confidence, yet the current record remains harsh: 16th in the Bundesliga, 29 points, 7W‑8D‑19L with a recent form of LDWLD. The defense has conceded 69 goals while the attack has scored 45, a -24 goal difference. The last league outing ended in a 2‑1 loss to SC Paderborn 07 on May 25 2026. Wolfsburg sits 60 points behind leaders Bayern Munich. The friendly offers a glimmer of hope, but the work ahead is massive.

What’s next?

Following the friendly, Wolfsburg travels to Berlin for a showcase match against Hertha BSC. Coach Koch aims to tighten the back line and fine‑tune the link‑up between Arnold and Schulz. Fans can expect more test games before the official season kicks off on August 14.
