FC Langen triumphs in the Sparkassen Cup 2025 with a victory in the eleven-meter shot competition
The sports ground of SG Egelsbach will host the first-ever Sparkassen-Cup for Women, a separate event from the main Sparkassen-Cup, on August 16-17. Despite no specific financial support or sponsorship from Sparkasse Langen-Seligenstadt, the bank has shown its backing for the event, with Hagen Wenzel, a board member, emphasizing its social significance.
Unlike the main Sparkassen-Cup, the Sparkassen-Cup for Women is not accompanied by numerous spectators, club members, or representatives from politics and business. The draw for the match groups took place on July 16 at the main branch of Sparkasse Langen-Seligenstadt in Langen. A total of 14 games are set to be played at this year's Sparkassen-Cup for Women.
As of early August 2025, no publicly available schedule or format details for the 2025 Sparkassen-Cup for Women have been released. The closest related event is the M25 Ollersbach men's clay tournament held in Austria from July 21 to July 27, 2025, but this is not a women's sports cup.
In a show of support, Hagen Wenzel praised the commitment of all athletes and the dedication of the many volunteers who made the event possible. Sandra Schmitt, head of sales management, drew the lots for the Sparkassen-Cup.
Hagen Wenzel highlighted that "strengthening social cohesion and community spirit through sport" is a central concern of the Sparkassen-Cup. The event is expected to bring together eight teams competing in two groups, with the location providing a perfect backdrop for this inaugural tournament.
While the Sparkassen-Cup for Women is not mentioned to have any direct connection with Hagen Wenzel or the social concerns earlier mentioned, the bank's involvement and Hagen Wenzel's statements underscore its commitment to promoting women's tennis and fostering a sense of community.
