Bonn meets Göttingen: Cup draw promises thrills!
On Tuesday, July 15, 2025, the draw for the German Basketball Cup was held in Düsseldorf. An exciting duel is imminent: the Baskets Bonn meet the BG Göttingen. An interesting encounter, as Göttingen was relegated from the Basketball Bundesliga last season as bottom with only three wins from 32 games. This will be the first official game for both teams, which makes things even more exciting. Marko Stankovic, the coach of Baskets Bonn, commented on the challenge of the game in Göttingen, where the basketball tradition is deeply rooted.
Bonn, who lost 85:91 to Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals last season, have big plans. The competitors in this year's cup are also the Phoenix Hagen, who enter the competition in sixth place in the second division and will meet the Rostock Seawolves from the BBL in the first round. The first round games are scheduled for around September 23rd - but the exact dates have yet to be announced.
A look at the Basketball Bundesliga
The Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) is the highest league in professional club basketball in Germany and currently consists of 18 teams. Each season the league is divided into a league and a playoff phase. The top eight teams in the league phase qualify for the exciting playoffs, while the teams in the bottom two places are relegated. The playoffs are played in a “best of five” format and the winner of the final round is crowned German champion. All BBL teams also take part in the German Basketball Cup, which consists of three knockout rounds.
In addition, teams from the second league (ProA or ProB) or even from the regional league are also allowed to compete in this cup. The tournament has a long tradition that dates back to the first national basketball championship in Germany in 1939. Since then, the league has continued to develop - today the clubs enjoy professional and exciting competition.
So we can be curious to see how Baskets Bonn and BG Göttingen will fare in this first meeting. It will certainly be a moving game that will captivate basketball fans in Cologne and far beyond.
