Family duel: Kofler fights with HSV against foxes and championship title!
Next Sunday at 6 p.m. there will be an exciting duel in the handball Bundesliga: Elias Kofler (25) and HSV Hamburg meet the Füchse Berlin. But the game will not only be interesting from a sporting perspective for Kofler, but also from a family perspective, as his two brothers, Jonas and Gabriel (both 20), play for the Füchse Berlin second team. The entire Kofler family, including parents, grandmother and aunt, travel from Vienna to watch the spectacle live.
Jonas Kofler recently made his Bundesliga debut and is expected to be on the pitch for the upcoming match. Elias, who moved to the team from VfL Potsdam this summer, has done well despite the ups and downs in the new team. He was often on the bench at the start of the season, but coach Torsten Jansen has praised his attitude and performance in recent games. Kofler sees his main task as supplying energy to the defense, where he wants to score points with his 1.88 meters and his defensive grit.
A look at the teams' form
HSV Hamburg's form curve has recently been pointing upwards, with solid performances against Gummersbach, Magdeburg and Kiel. Kofler plans to take full risks in the game against the champions, which promises fans a thrilling game. Particularly noteworthy is the good cooperation between Kofler and his teammates Moritz and Jakob, who strengthen the team structure.
After the game in Berlin, Kofler will not travel back with the team. Instead, he flies to the national team in Vienna, where a course with the new team boss Iker Romero begins on Monday. Austria will test against Hungary on November 1st, which represents the next challenge for Kofler.
A look back: Foxes Berlin and their development
A look back at Füchse Berlin shows that the club has also made positive development steps recently. They last played against VfL Potsdam on August 15, 2024 and won the friendly game 37:30. Nils Lichtlein scored an impressive 10 goals in this game, which reinforced the impression that the Foxes are in a good position.
However, the challenges in handball are not just of a sporting nature. The German Handball Federation (DHB) is considering strengthening the future of sport through targeted networking of science and practice. The scientific support is intended to help meet the current and future requirements of the sport, as on DHB is mentioned.
For the Kofler brothers, this weekend will not only be a sporting highlight, but also an emotional family event. It remains to be seen whether Elias Kofler will ensure that HSV Hamburg leaves the pitch as winners. The handball community in northern Germany will be looking forward to the brother duel with excitement.
