Hannover 96 triumphs 3-0 in the heated derby against Braunschweig!

In an exciting encounter, Hannover 96 won the Niedersachsensenderby against Eintracht Braunschweig 3-0. The victory on October 26, 2025 keeps Hannover in the top half of the 2nd league table. With this success, the team celebrated its first victory in Braunschweig since February 2021. Benjamin Källman contributed two goals to the triumph, which came in the 32nd and 36th minutes. Daisuke Yokota rounded off the score in the 61st minute.

However, the game started turbulently: referee Robert Hartmann had to interrupt the match in the 3rd minute due to pyrotechnics from the away fans. Braunschweig's Erencan Yardimci made things even more exciting when he received a red card for assault in the 20th minute. This was a bitter setback for the hosts, who, despite several chances, never really found their way into the game and were mainly defeated by the strong goalkeeper Ron-Thorben Hoffmann.

Key moments of the game

Levente Szabo had one of the best chances for Braunschweig in the 64th minute, but it went unused. Källman had a third goal disallowed in the 47th minute because he was said to be offside. Shortly before the end of the game, Yokota caused further excitement when a pack formed. Hannover can look back on a convincing performance and will go into the next games optimistically. Hannover 96 will face Elversberg on Friday, while Braunschweig faces 1. FC Nürnberg on Saturday.

In addition to the sporting events, there is also regional economic news in Hanover that is causing a stir. HANNOVER MESSE 2026 will take place from April 20th to 24th, 2026 under the theme “Industrial Transformation”. Over 4,000 international exhibitors from various industries are expected, including mechanical engineering and the energy industry. The trade fair promises an exciting program with around 130,000 trade visitors and over 1,600 speakers.

A look into the future

The partner country in 2026 will be Brazil, and the ceremonial opening of the trade fair is planned for April 19, 2026 at the Hannover Congress Center. The trade fair's thematic focus ranges from artificial intelligence to sustainable energy solutions, with innovative start-ups and research also being celebrated. In particular, the presentation of practical applications such as laser welding in the “Application Park” and the discussions in the “Circular Economy Future Laboratory” promise to provide new impulses.

As part of the FEMWORX career congress, which will take place on April 23 and 24, 2026, the focus is primarily on promoting women in industry. Prestigious awards are presented such as the Woman Engineer Awards, which went to outstanding women in engineering in 2025. HANNOVER MESSE 2026 will be a highlight in many ways, both for the industry and for the regions in which it will take place.

While Hannover 96 remains on the road to success, preparations for the upcoming trade fair are in full swing. We are excited to see what the next few weeks will bring for both topic areas.
