Champions Bietigheim to play as HB Ludwigsburg in future
Germany's best women's handball team will soon be history.
The German champions and cup winners SG BBM Bietigheim will join HB Ludwigsburg for the 2024/25 season and will compete under this name in the Bundesliga in future. "With this change, we are securing the future of our women's handball at the highest level. Unfortunately, we no longer saw this prospect in Bietigheim, which is why we examined all options and have now found this ideal solution," said Bietigheim's managing director Bastian Dörr, explaining the move next summer.
The SG has celebrated success like a conveyor belt in recent years. The team won the championship title four times, the DHB Cup three times and the EHF Cup once. Under current national coach Markus Gaugisch, the club set a record with 63 cross-competition victories in a row, which is likely to stand the test of time. In the current season, Bietigheim leads the Bundesliga table with 15:1 points.
The German champions SG BBM Bietigheim, known for their dominance in women's handball, will merge with HB Ludwigsburg for the 2024/25 Bundesliga season. In the upcoming competitive season, the combined team will represent HB Ludwigsburg in women's handball Bundesliga.
