Start of the SG Flensburg-Handewitt season: training starts on July 20th!

The countdown has begun: The 2024/25 season of SG Flensburg-Handewitt has officially started! While the players have gone on a well-deserved vacation and training in the Duburghalle is paused, there are already comprehensive plans for the coming season. According to the website of the SG Flensburg-Handewitt Training operations will resume on July 20th. The first few days include medical checks in Damp, the team photo and the presentation of a new induction trailer.

The new coach Aleš Pajović attaches great importance to an intensive preparation phase. This will focus primarily on athletics in the first week of training. The first test match will take place on August 1st against HØJ Elite, a Danish first division team. One can be particularly excited to see Hampus Wanne, the former FC Barcelona player, who now plays for HØJ.

Training camps and test matches

After the first test match, the SG will go to Lund, where they will hold a training camp with their cooperation partner Lugi. The GP JOULE Arena will remain closed over the summer until construction work takes place. Another highlight will be the Jacob Cement Cup on August 8th in Sonderborg, followed by a match against TSV Vellmar on August 14th in northern Hesse. The team also takes part in the HSG Premium Cup in Lingen, where great opponents such as Füchse Berlin and even FC Barcelona await them.

The “dress rehearsal” for the SG will take place on August 22nd in Aalborg and will set the tone for the challenges ahead. The first matchday of the DAIKIN Handball Bundesliga (HBL) will take place between August 28th and 31st, and the team will have an English week in September.

DHB Cup and the EHF European League

Another important date has been set: In October, SG Flensburg-Handewitt has to compete in the second main round of the DHB Cup. The group phase will also be exciting EHF European League, which begins October 14th. This season is particularly important because the SG, defending champions and winners of the third title after the victory against Montpellier Handball, also wants to shine in this first phase.

Some tough challenges await in the 2024-25 EHF European League. A total of 22 already qualified teams and 10 winners of the qualifying round will be divided into 8 groups of 4 teams. Only the best 2 teams in each group make it to the main round, which increases the pressure enormously.

The European Cup participants can once again look forward to action-packed and exciting games, including the Final Four tournament, which will be held this year at the Barclays Arena in Hamburg. So it will be exciting for the fans, because SG Flensburg-Handewitt will be playing on an equal footing with top European teams in the group phase.

Loud Sport4Final Flensburg will have to defend their title in the coming season, which above all requires the support of the home fans. Coach Maik Machulla is therefore calling for general mobilization to give everything in the new season.
