Football World Cup oracle at Chemnitz Zoo

Invitation for media representatives: 13 June, 9.15 a.m., tiger enclosure at the zoo

For the World Cup in Russia, which starts on Thursday, Chemnitz Zoo is once again busy guessing. The zoo residents will be predicting the outcome of individual World Cup matches in advance. Volodya will be the first. The Siberian tiger will predict the result of the opening match between Russia and Saudi Arabia. The time and place of the oracle is tomorrow, Wednesday, 9.15 am, in the tiger cage at the zoo.

In the preliminary round, the games of the German national team will be predicted. The following animal species will hopefully bring Jogi's eleven luck with their oracle:

Coatis on 15 June for the match between Germany and Mexico, the Milan on 22 June for the match between Germany and Sweden and the Beo on 26 June for the match between Germany and South Korea. Tiger Wolodja will again predict the final. In the case of German participation, the knockout matches will also be oracled.

The exact oracle times will be announced in further press invitations.

  • Opening hours of the zoo: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., last admission 6 p.m.
  • Opening hours of the game reserve: 8 am to 6 pm
