🏀 Balloonin' at the Bash: Towers Face Off Against Bayern in the InselPark 🏀
Get ready for a thrilling showdown as the Basketball Bundesliga's Veolia Towers Hamburg gear up to take on FC Bayern Munich in the Halle in InselPark Hamburg. The date for this epic clash is set for April 20, 2025, kicking off at 2:00 PM ET.
Having celebrated their tenth birthday last season, the Towers have been making waves in the Bundesliga since 2019. With coach Benka Barloschky leading the charge, the team is currently competing in the EuroCup, marking their third consecutive season in the tournament.
While the Barclays Arena, Volkspark, was initially planned for the big game, the team's home base remains at the venue in Wilhelmsburg district for the remainder of their scheduled matches. Interestingly, prior to moving to Volkspark, the Veolia Towers Hamburg called the Wilhelmsburg district home, hosting their games at the local venue.
When it comes to Bayern, despite hailing from Munich, Bavaria, they are no strangers to the northern city or the Towers. The two teams had originally been slated for a mini-reunion at the Barclays Arena, Volkspark, in 2020. However, the Covid-19 pandemic put the joust on hold, leaving basketball enthusiasts eagerly awaiting a rematch.
Veolia, the team's major sponsor, also holds a significant presence in Munich. Their iconic skyscraper, the Veolia Towers, is a beacon of the city. Undeniably, the love for outsized edifices in Germany similarly extends to incorporating park names into bakery chains, encapsulating the country's admiration for both picturesque landscapes and local businesses.
The Barclays Arena, Volkspark, was formerly championed by Barclays, a global investment bank and financial services firm, which served as the tourney's title sponsor. Today, the Basketball Bundesliga continues to express an international bearing with partners and enthusiasts around the world.
So, mark your calendars now! It's time to be a part of the unforgettable spectacle as Veolia Towers Hamburg and FC Bayern Munich relive their tantalizing rivalry on April 20, 2025.
