THW Kiel and SG Flensburg: Strong together in the DHB Cup!
Something is happening in the handball world! Next Wednesday, November 3rd, 2025, two Bundesliga heavyweights will face each other in the DHB Cup round of 16: THW Kiel and SG Flensburg-Handewitt. While Kiel faces HBW Balingen-Weilstetten, Flensburg meets TVB Stuttgart at the same time. So an exciting duel is coming up!
Both teams came up with something special to plan their journey to the game. In a clever move, they use a shared charter plane. This not only saves you money, but also valuable time. “Travelling together makes perfect sense,” says THW managing director Viktor Szilagyi. The concept enables short but effective preparation for the upcoming game, as the teams arrive on the day of the game and fly back immediately after the whistle. This also offers more time for players to regenerate.
Team travel plan
The flight will take place on Wednesday morning from Sønderborg, Denmark, and after landing in Stuttgart the players will stay in a day hotel where they can prepare for the game. They booked the return flight for Wednesday evening so that they could be home late in the evening. This efficient planning is not new; Both teams traveled together to the Supercup in Düsseldorf in 2020, which proved to be a successful strategy.
For fans and those involved, this meeting is not only a celebration of handball, but also proof that team spirit and cooperation extend beyond the pitch. The two clubs show that you can work hand in hand (or in the air) even beyond competition. Who would have thought that a plane trip would make such waves? Now all that remains is to hope that the hard work on the field pays off and that the spectators can experience a thrilling match!
If you look at the last encounters, expectations are high. Both teams have hungry fans and the potential for spectacular moments. In the past, the opponents have often been able to convince with strong performances and captivate the audience. It will be exciting to see who can prevail in this important phase of the cup!
We keep our eyes open and report on the results of the encounters. Until then, good luck to both teams! The handball world is looking forward to Stuttgart!
