Preußen Münster opens the 2026‑27 season on Aug 7/8 with an away match against SV Wehen Wiesbaden, and new signing Ryan Johansson faces his former club right away. The 25‑year‑old attacking midfielder, who spent the last two seasons in Hessen, is expected to help the "Adlerträger" secure three points immediately.

Who is Ryan Johansson?

Ryan Johansson hails from Luxembourg, has Irish roots, and played for SV Wehen Wiesbaden from 2024 to 2026. He logged 72 appearances and scored five goals, showing a keen eye for attack. His transfer to the "Schwarz‑Weiß‑Grünen" was completed in the summer window, with no fee disclosed. He now steps onto the pitch in the club's new colors.

Why does the clash matter?

The meeting with Wehen is more than a friendly – it serves as the first benchmark for coach Thomas Wörle. The clubs have met 16 times: Wehen won five, Preußen Münster four, and seven games ended level. A win would boost morale, especially after the recent 0‑3 loss to SV Elversberg on May 17, 2026.

What does the rest of the schedule look like?

After the opener, Münster hosts Ingolstadt on Aug 15, then travels to Cologne to face Viktoria Köln on Aug 29. October brings the derby against Rot‑Weiss Essen (Oct 10) and shortly after a clash with Fortuna Düsseldorf. The coaching staff, including former coach Alexander Ende, will fine‑tune tactics while ex‑Preußen pros Jorrit Hendrix and Yassine Bouchama appear in the stadium as guests.

How does this affect the supporters?

Renovation work at the Hammer Straße stadium pushes the first home games back, meaning fans must follow the early fixtures away. Still, the first half promises exciting trips, such as the 589‑km journey to Regensburg on Dec 5 – the longest away trip for Westphalian supporters. Their backing will be essential as the team fights for the points needed to stay afloat in the league.
