The German championship in table football is attracting the country’s best football players to Frankfurt this weekend and is expected to attract thousands to the screens again. sport.de shows the games of the German championship (May 5th to 7th) live in the stream!
It starts on Friday evening (from 7 p.m.) with the mixed competition for the German championship. On Saturday (from 6:00 p.m.) the doubles games are on the program, on Sunday (from 5:30 p.m.) the final follows with the singles matches. The table football games can be seen in the stream sport.de!
The niche sport of table football has recently undergone an impressive development. The athletes are not only getting faster, more precise and more strategic at the table, the transmission of the sport via the Foosball TV stream team has also increased and caused over a million views on Twitch at the last DM 2022.
Two names that could put their stamp on the German table football championship are Martin Brath and Nico Wohlgemuth.
They let the ball slide back and forth between the rows with playful ease and often sink the ball without a start after a pass in the corner. Brath is from Cologne, is a math student and is currently working on his bachelor thesis on number theory. The surprise singles winner was on the verge of tears live on Foosball TV.
“When I’m in a good mood, I can win against everyone, but the density of great table football players in Germany is so high that you could name 10 or 15 names who can win. Apart from me, I would not begrudge Benni Struth, a super likeable player who is still missing the individual title – I think. I’m just looking forward to it,” said Brath, who is not one of the favorites this year.
“Street kickers” pull the tooth out of consistent strategists
Wohlgemuth, on the other hand, does. The national player is always to be expected. Last year he won the double with Oliver Schlancke. With his fast, technically playful manner, it is a pleasure to watch him. Schlancke and Wohlgemuth – you could say – play street soccer. They often thwart some consistent strategists who play very analytically, slowly and thoughtfully by playing their way into a flow with tricky combinations. This enchants the viewers in the live stream in particular.
On the Foosball TV Twitch Channel you can follow the quarter-finals live from Friday 7:00 p.m. and all important finals until Sunday. The stream is accompanied by a team of moderators who you can chat with and who explain and prepare everything especially for newcomers and non-players.
Last year, a spectator record of over 10,000 simultaneously active spectators was broken at the individual final on Sunday.
There is no way around My Linh Tran
In the women’s category there is still no way around Linh Tran. The German national player is the measure of all things in the women’s world and a star in the football sky. She is the reigning German champion in singles and doubles. She pursues her passion table football with full professionalism and dedication.
Spicy: In the women’s competition this year, Linh Tran will not be competing with her partner from the previous year, Maura Porrmann, one of the best defenders in the world. Tran starts with Pia Merbach from Eintracht Frankfurt. Porrmann with Michaela Klaas, just as strong and national player.
“Of course I see them as challengers. But the newcomers are also dangerous,” explains Tran with a smile. “By that I mean young players who are on the rise, there are many of them, for example Julia Wohlgemuth.” A very encouraging development indeed. More and more women are mixing up the sport. Linh Tran is a so-called role model for this.
Speaking of Tran: She is a brand ambassador for the table manufacturer Leonhart. The Lower Bavarian carpentry leaves in connection with sport.de and the DTFB (Deutscher Tischfussball Bund) jump a profit table worth 1,900 euros. Take part in the competition and become part of the kicker community.
