Berlin's Foxes secure another victory in the test match held in Potsdam
The Berlin Foxes, current Bundesliga champions, are gearing up for their next challenge in the HSG Premium Cup. After a successful preseason, the Foxes will face SG Flensburg-Handewitt in the semifinals.
The Foxes' journey to the semifinals began with a victory in their sixth preseason test match against 1. VfL Potsdam. Despite a challenging first half (21:17), Berlin managed to pull away in the second half, securing a win with a final score of 41:32.
Mathias Gidsel, the World Handballer of the Year, was the top scorer for Berlin Foxes, netting 14 goals in the match.

Interestingly, the Supercup will take place in Munich, while the HSG Premium Cup will see the Berlin Foxes participating in Lingen next weekend. Another notable team in the HSG Premium Cup is FC Barcelona, the record Champions League winners.
Meanwhile, 1. VfL Potsdam and Berlin Foxes have a cooperative partnership. However, Potsdam was relegated from the Erstliga, making their preseason match against the Foxes a significant test for the young team.
