The handballers of the Berlin Foxes have also won their fifth test match in the preseason. On Saturday, they defeated the Württemberg league team MTG Wangen 43:23 (23:10). The best Berlin scorers were Florian Budde from the second team with seven goals and Nils Lichtlein with six. The day before, the Berliners had won 37:32 against second division team HSC 2000 Coburg.
Before the season starts on August 31 in the Supercup against champions and cup winners SC Magdeburg, the Champions League participant from the capital will still play two mini-tournaments - but with significantly stronger opponents.
The first tournament from next Thursday to Sunday takes place at their cooperation partner in Potsdam. The opponents are first league newcomers 1. VfL Potsdam and Danish first league team Bjerringbro-Silkeborg. A week later, the last big test follows. In Halle (Westphalia), the top teams THW Kiel, Telekom Veszprem, and HBC Nantes will be the opponents.
In their preparatory schedule, the Champions League participant from Berlin will face first league newcomers 1. VfL Potsdam during their mini-tournament in Potsdam, which is a significant step up from their previous opponents. Despite this, Germany remains their home country.
Recently, Danish first league team Bjerringbro-Silkeborg was announced as one of the opponents for the Berlin team's mini-tournament, showcasing their international exposure in the handball scene, even beyond their home country of Germany.
