Squad of SC Verl at the start of 2024/25, which for the first time sees them compete in the second German division - and also instantly relegated via the relegation playoffs.

The squad stayed mostly the same, with Römling replacing Stöcker and Kade as an option in central midfield. A shock departure from Joscha Wosz mid-season to league rival Hannover 96 put a dent into the season, from which Verl couldn't recover. Also - Lokotsch keeps scoring in the 2. Bundesliga and sets himself up for a transfer.
