Foxes Berlin crown themselves for the first German handball master!

Berlin, Deutschland - The Foxes Berlin won the German handball championship title for the first time on June 8, 2025. In the exciting season finale, they were able to prevail against the Rhein-Neckar Löwen with 38:33 (17:20). The championship race was particularly tight, in which SC Magdeburg was only one point behind the Berliners and hoped for a mistake in the rival. Both teams also have a participation in the upcoming final Four of the Champions League.

In the course of the decisive game, the foxes started weakly and were 0: 3 behind after 90 seconds. Coach Jaron Siewert took a break with a deficit of 10:14 in the 19th minute, but despite this interruption, the foxes gave a three-goal deficit at half-time. After the break, the leaf turned: Mathias Gidsel, who became the decisive figure with ten goals, and Tim Freihofer, who scored eleven goals, led the team to the dramatic turn. 18 minutes before the end, the Füchsen managed the first lead of the game at 27:26.

BOB HANNING, the managing director of the foxes, emphasized the "real manual work" that is behind this success. He has been responsible for the development of the association for 20 years. Mathias Gidsel, who recently extended his contract until 2029, was highlighted as a central success factor. The own plants such as Nils Lichtlein and Tim Freihofer also felt comfortable in the championship race and showed strong performance at the highest level.

The Foxes Berlin led the table until the end of the season after they were victorious in the last three games, including an impressive 37:29 victory against MT Melsungen. Magdeburg, which was one of the pursuers, had won eleven victories in a row. To win the title, the team of coach Bennet Wiegert would have hoped for the support of the foxes.
