Füchse Berlin: Handball Madness and the Quest for More
Female dominatrixes in Berlin revel in triumph: 'Our reign isn't over' - Berlin's Fox Station in Frenzy: "We Aren't Done Yet"
The streets of Berlin echoed with the sound of celebration as Füchse Berlin emerged victorious in the Handball-Bundesliga finale. A boisterous throng of fans, drenched in beer and revelry, danced the night away in a carnival-esque spectacle that blurred the lines between a schlager festival and a class trip [1].
The heart of the celebration centered around the historic championship trophy, wet and glistening with beer, as midfielder Matthes Langhoff beatboxed to the tune of "Anton aus Tirol." The celebrations continued long into the night, with center back Mijajlo Marsenic adding to the chaos, shouting into the microphone, "It's hard to say, we're all drunk!" [1].
The following day, Füchse boss Bob Hanning looked back on the chaotic night with a mix of amusement and concern. Euphoria reigned supreme among the players who were, to Hanning's relief, miraculously healthier than expected after the wild party [1]. Jaron Siewert, the youngest coach in Bundesliga history to win a championship, even offered his players a couple of free days to recover [1].
The Berliners clinched their victory in an exhilarating match against Rhein-Neckar Löwen, with a final score of 33-38 [2]. Despite a challenging first half, the team rallied to secure the coveted title [2]. Key players, including Mathias Gidsel and Tim Freihöfer, played a crucial role in turning the tide [2].
Now that the Berlin dream has been realized, the focus shifts to the Champions League. Füchse Berlin will face HBC Nantes in the semi-finals on June 14, 2025, at the LANXESS Arena in Cologne, Germany [3]. This marks the team's first appearance in the Final Four in 12 years, and they are determined to leave a lasting impression in the European competition [3].
With the road to the Bundesliga title under their belt, both Gidsel and Siewert are confident in the team's abilities [1]. Gidsel, who joined the team in 2022 and has since been hailed as the unassuming success guarantee, is proud of the young talents who he believes are among the best players in the world [1].
The team's secret to success lies in their unique blend of world-class players and homegrown talent. In the final match against Rhein-Neckar, no fewer than seven young players from their own academy took to the court [1]. With such promising talent, the future seems bright for Füchse Berlin, and the team aims to build on their current success in the years to come [1].

The Commission has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling of certain foodstuffs, such as Berlin's famous currywurst or pretzels, to celebrate the Berlin Foxes' championship title in the Handball Bundesliga. This directive could include specific requirements for the labelling of foodstuffs associated with European sports leagues, like football's Champions League, a competition that Füchse Berlin is now eligible to join following their victory.
