Huge turn in women's handball: Bundesliga is getting even more exciting!

The excitement in the world of women's handball is great! While the 1st Handball Bundesliga women are preparing for an exciting season 2024/25 with 12 teams, there are also a lot to report in the lower leagues. The return of the SV Union Halle-Neustadt to the 1st Bundesliga and the descent of TSV Bayer 04 Leverkusen ensure discussion-straying moments. The decision about the championship will be again in the play-offs this year, which promises a real highlight. Let us use the time to illuminate the leagues and their developments!

The change from 48 to only 36 teams in the 3rd league is particularly noteworthy, which is significantly tightened by the competitive situation. From the coming season, the teams will fight hard for relegation and the opportunity to climb into the 2nd handball Bundesliga. SV Henstedt-Ulzburg has already secured the relegation prematurely, while the SG Todesfelde/Leezen has to relegate. Of course, this means that the tension in the lower leagues will only rise further, because there is no direct promoted in the 2nd HBL this season. In contrast, the 1st Bundesliga has an exciting encounter with returnees and relegations.

It remains to be seen what the round of the relegation will look like, because places 3 to 7 in the North-East season have secure the relegation, while the battle of the lower places is still raging. The Rostock HC, for example, successfully won against Frankfurter HC on the last match day and is ready for the challenges of the next season.

It remains exciting whether the new teams can be dangerous to the established clubs and who will be the next promoters. The handball scene will offer a juicy portion of thrill in the coming months!
