Volleys-Pflichtsieg with Olympia Promotion in City Rivalry - BR Volleys seize first place while boosting Berlin's 2032 Olympic bid
BR Volleys have taken sole control of first place in the volleyball league. Their 3–0 victory over VCO Berlin in the capital's derby also served as part of a wider campaign. The event promoted Berlin's bid to host the 2032 Olympic Games.
The match took place at Berlin's Max-Schmeling-Halle, where BR Volleys dominated from the start. They secured a straight-sets win with scores of 25–19, 25–17, and 25–20. The result pushed them ahead of SVG Lüneburg, who previously shared the top spot.
Before the game, organisers set up a Kiez-Tour stop in the neighbourhood. Fans and locals could discuss Berlin's Olympic ambitions in a public dialogue. The event aimed to gather support for the city's 2032 bid.
BR Volleys now lead the league alone after their convincing derby win. The match also doubled as a platform for Berlin's Olympic campaign. No details have been released about public reactions to the bid during the event.
