Holders Dortmund to face minnows Rielasingen-Arlen in DFB-Pokal

The draw for the first round of next season's competition has taken place, with Bayern Munich learning that they will take on Chemnitzer

DFB-Pokal holders Borussia Dortmund have been drawn against minnows Rielasingen-Arlen in the first round of the 2017-18 competition, while Bayern Munich head to Chemnitzer.

Dortmund beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 in May's Berlin final under Thomas Tuchel and his successor Peter Bosz has now learned of his first cup opponents.

Rielasingen-Arlen qualified for the tournament with victory in last season's South Baden Cup and have been rewarded with a visit from giants Dortmund.

Bundesliga champions Bayern, meanwhile, travel to Chemnitzer of the third tier, having lost to Dortmund in a thrilling semi-final last term.
