SC Freiburg Makes Unexpected Stop at Garden Center Before Europa League Trip
The SC Freiburg squad found themselves in an unusual situation on their way to France for an important Europa League clash against OGC Nice. What was supposed to be a routine team flight turned into a delayed departure, all due to technical problems with their aircraft at Lahr Airport. The Bundesliga side was forced to adjust their schedule, causing the team to experience a longer wait before they could finally take off.
According to the club, the plane’s technical issues were unexpected, and the team’s journey to Nizza did not go as smoothly as planned. A spokesperson from Freiburg confirmed that despite the setback, the squad was eventually able to continue their trip and was en route to France, determined to secure three points in the upcoming match.

The delay, however, offered the players a rare chance to do something completely out of the ordinary. To pass the time while waiting for the flight, several players, including Vincenzo Grifo, were spotted visiting a local garden center. Photos shared on the team’s social media platform, Bluesky, showed the players enjoying themselves in the center’s cafeteria, turning an inconvenient delay into a light-hearted outing.
Before heading to the airport, the Freiburg squad had completed their final training session under coach Julian Schuster in their home city. The team maintained their focus on the Europa League fixture, but the spontaneous garden center visit added a touch of humor and humanity to the usually rigid travel schedule of professional footballers.
The Europa League game against OGC Nice is scheduled for Thursday evening at 18:45, and Freiburg will be hoping to make up for the travel disruptions with a strong performance on the pitch.
