Veolia Towers Hamburg Set High Ambitions for Upcoming Season
Veolia Towers Hamburg, the German basketball team, is gearing up for an exciting new season with high goals in sight. The team, led by coach Benka Barloschky and manager Marvin Willoughby, is focusing on building a strong and competitive squad to compete in the Basketball-Bundesliga and the Eurocup[1].
The team will face a mix of old and new licensed players by the time of the cup game against Bamberg on September 24. Notably, Brae Ivey, Jaizec Lottie, and Jonathan Stove are no longer part of Veolia Towers Hamburg[2]. To fill these gaps, the team has recruited guards Leonard Thorpe and Eric Reed, who bring different qualities to the team[3]. However, specific target positions for the team have not been named yet[4].
The team's ambitions are not limited to the league. They are aiming to make a strong impact in their home games at the Barclays Arena. The regular season game for Veolia Towers Hamburg in the Barclays Arena is scheduled for March 29, 2026, and is expected to be a crowd-puller[5]. Another significant home game will be against Alba Berlin on December 14, 2025[6].
The season will kick off for Veolia Towers Hamburg at home against Mitteldeutscher BC in the Inselpark Arena on September 28, 2025[7]. Two days later, they will face Hapoel Jerusalem in the Eurocup clash[1]. These games mark the beginning of a challenging and exciting season for the team.
Coach Barloschky is eager to foster competition within the team, ensuring that every player is motivated to give their best[8]. Despite the early stages of preparation, he admits it's too early to set specific targets[9]. The management shares this cautious approach, emphasizing the importance of forming a powerful team and performing well[4].
The upcoming season promises to be an exciting one for Veolia Towers Hamburg. With high ambitions, a mix of experienced and new players, and key home games, the team is ready to make its mark in the basketball world.

The Commission, aiming to expand its scope beyond industries, has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the protection of athletes from the potential risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation during sports-analysis, particularly in basketball.
Between the exciting league games and home crowds at the Barclays Arena, Veolia Towers Hamburg plans to follow their basketball matches with a post-game NBA sports-analysis session to enhance their strategic decision-making.
