Hamburger SV is one of the largest clubs in Germany. In the New sticker on T-Online you will find all the important messages about the “red pants”.
Coach Merlin Polzin goes with a good feeling in the season’s sprint of the 2nd Bundesliga. After the 3-0 in the test game against Phönix Lübeck, the leaders’ focus is on the final phase of the season. The HSV coach has a great strength with his team.
Because: In Robert Glatzel, Davie Selke, Ransford Königsdörffer and Otto Stange, the coach of the “Rothosen” for the final sprint is open to many options in attack. “This is definitely a great strength,” says Polzin. “I don’t want to be the defender who has worked on one of our strikers for 70 minutes and thinks that it will soon be done – and then the next one will come into play.”
Glatzel had recently given his comeback after around five months of injury. In the test game against fourth division Lübeck, he scored with a penalty.
On Sunday there is a historic moment in German women’s football in the Volksparkstadion: The DFB Cup semi-final between Hamburger SV and Werder Bremen will be held in front of 57,000 spectators-as many as never before in a club game in Germany.
The duel of the North Rivals has been sold out for weeks and surpasses the previous record from the cup final 2024 in Cologne by more than 12,000 fans. “The news actually went around the world. This is exactly what women’s football needs to take the next steps,” said HSV board member Eric Huwer, according to the “Süddeutscher Zeitung”.
The focus is not only on the focus of the game – it should also show that a traditional rivalry without hatred and rioting is also possible. “I don’t think it plays so big in women’s football. It’s a bit more familiar,” said Werder player Larissa Mühlhaus, who was born in Hamburg and is now running for Bremen. The great interest in the game is seen as a signal for the growing importance of women’s football.
The handball Bundesliga club HSV Hamburg has extended the contract with right winger Frederik Bo Andersen prematurely. As the club announced before the home game against MT Melsungen, the 26-year-old Dane remains with the Hamburgers until the end of the 2027/28 season. Bo Andersen has been a reliable support on the right outer track since moving to HSV.
In the subsequent Bundesliga game, HSV Hamburg celebrated a surprising 42:32 (19:17) home win against the top club MT Melsungen. Despite personnel bottlenecks-El-Tayar, Ilic and Axmann were missing from the Hamburgers-the team of coach Torsten Jansen showed a strong performance. The best thrower of the hosts was Moritz Sauter with nine goals.
The Hamburgers consistently took advantage of the weaknesses of the Hesse and turned a narrow 14:15 deficit (25th minute) into a clear 32:21 lead (43rd minute). In front of 3,692 spectators, Melsungen never found his line and received a deserved defeat, while HSV Hamburg set an exclamation mark with the victory and extension of Bo Andersen.
The timetable for the end of the season is in the 2nd Bundesliga. The German Football League (DFL) timed the games on Thursday until the end of the season. Everything for the HSV has been there in the last four games: an early Sunday game, an early Saturday game, a top game on Saturday evening and a duel on Sunday afternoon.
