There will be a lot going on in the region on June 21, 2025, which will delight sports enthusiasts. In an exciting initiative, numerous clubs are applying for a coveted “Fans in the East” live stream in order to present their events on a broader scale. The application period is already open and sports clubs of all kinds are warmly invited to take part. The Espenhain e.V. Tennis Performance Center, the Meißen e.V. Motorsport Club and the BRSSV Stendal e.V. are particularly in focus, all of which want to reach the finals with great events.

The Tennis Performance Center Espenhain e.V. made a name for itself through promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga last summer. As the first club from the Leipzig region in this league, it will deliver exciting games on July 18th and 20th, 2025. But not only tennis is on the program: The Motorsport Club Meißen e.V. has the 53rd edition of the Silver Steel Shoe in the Speedway Stadium in Meißen just around the corner, an event that is expected to attract numerous motorsport fans on October 5, 2025.

Inclusion in sport

Also worth mentioning is the BRSSV Stendal e.V. with its commitment to sitting volleyball, a sport that unites people with and without disabilities. This inclusive approach plays a big role, and the club will host the German Championship in Osterburg on September 6, 2025. This not only reflects the sporting idea, but also the social responsibility to promote inclusion in sport.

For sports clubs that are interested in inclusive projects, the “Index for Inclusion in and through Sport” from the German Disabled Sports Association (DBS) offers valuable guidance. This index represents a guide to establishing inclusive structures within sport. The project, which was created in collaboration with various institutions, promotes self-determination and equality in organized sport and is available to all sports associations as a helpful tool. Anyone interested has the opportunity to obtain comprehensive information here and download materials to further develop their inclusive approaches.

Not to be forgotten is the fact that online voting will take place for the live stream broadcast as part of the “Fans in the East” initiative. This opportunity gives local clubs the chance to make it to the finals. Who knows, maybe the next big sporting event will be broadcast live into fans' living rooms. So if you want to support with your voice, you shouldn't miss the initiative!
