revival of the sports gala in Hamm for the 20th anniversary

The sports gala in Hamm returns in January 2025 after it had to be out of organizer Frank Scharschmidt this year due to health reasons. The event, which takes place for the 20th time on January 10, 2025, is celebrated again in the Maxipark's ballroom. The gala has a long tradition and attracts sports enthusiasts from the region, which has become a fixture in Hamm’s event calendar.

background to the location: maximum capacity in the Maxipark

Originally, Scharschmidt had indicated that the sports gala may no longer want to align the Maxipark because the space is limited. The Alfred Fischer-Halle, which normally served as a Venue, remains closed because refugees are currently housed there. This situation will exist at least by the end of September 2025 after the district government has extended the lease. The search for an alternative venue in another city was excluded by Scharschmidt, which makes the return to the Maxipark inevitable.

The anticipation for a great event

With a view of the upcoming Olympic Games, Scharschmidt plans to win local Olympic participants for the gala. He promises that the level of the event should be kept by a live band and high-quality catering in order to offer the guests an unforgettable experience. Tickets will be available from October 2024 at a price of 125 euros.

an important event for the community

The return of the sports gala is of great importance for the community in Hamm. Festivals of this kind not only promote local sport, but also the social cohesion and identity of the region. The last gala was particularly lacking during the Corona pandemic, and the continuing uncertainty through the situation in the Alfred-Fischer-Halle shows how important such events are for cultural and social diversity. The gala is therefore not only a sporting celebration, but also an opportunity for the community to come together and to set a strong sign of support and encouragement.
