The stage is set for an exciting conclusion to the Champions League Men 2024/25 season, with the 2025 HYLO Champions League Final 4 taking place on May 31 and June 1, 2025, at the home of defending champions 1. FC Saarbrücken Tischtennis e.V.
Four top teams will battle for the prestigious title in Saarbrücken, with two German powerhouses returning to the final stage and two Polish clubs making history by reaching the Final 4 for the very first time.
German Powerhouses Back in the Spotlight
Reigning champions 1. FC Saarbrücken TT secured their place in the HYLO Final 4 with commanding performances in both legs of their quarterfinal clash against GV Hennebont TT. Led by Truls MOREGAARD, Patrick FRANZISKA, and Darko JORGIC, the hosts showed depth and control, overcoming early pressure to dispatch the French side with little drama.
Joining them once again is Borussia Düsseldorf, the most decorated club in Champions League Men history with six titles. Last year’s runners-up demonstrated their pedigree by defeating the French side Alliance Nîmes/Montpellier, home to rising stars Félix and Alexis LEBRUN. After a 3-0 win in France, the return leg at a packed ARAG CenterCourt in Düsseldorf brought further excitement as Dang QIU, Anton KÄLLBERG, and Timo BOLL completed the job in front of 1,100 spectators.
Historic Polish Breakthrough
This year’s HYLO Champions League Final 4 will also mark a significant milestone for Polish table tennis, with two clubs reaching the final stage for the first time.
KS GLOBAL PHARMA ORLICZ 1924 SUCHEDNIÓW pulled off one of the most dramatic comebacks of the season in an all-Polish quarterfinal against KS Dekorglass Działdowo. After suffering a 3-0 defeat at home in the first leg, Jeongwoo PARK, Deni KOZUL, and Mateusz ZALEWSKI rallied to a 3-1 win in the return leg, then triumphed in the golden match to seal their ticket to Saarbrücken.
Meanwhile, KS DARTOM BOGORIA Grodzisk Mazowiecki was the first team to book its spot in the Final 4. The Polish side dominated Solex Consult TTC Wiener Neustadt from Austria, winning both legs 3-0. Despite the clear scoreline, the Austrians—semifinalists in the previous edition—put up a strong fight, particularly in the first leg where two matches went the distance.
The 2025 HYLO Final 4 in Saarbrücken promises a thrilling mix of experience and ambition. As Borussia Düsseldorf and 1. FC Saarbrücken aim to continue their legacy, both Polish clubs will be eager to prove that their historic breakthroughs were no fluke.
Fans can expect high-stakes drama, elite performances, and the crowning of a new chapter in Champions League Men history.
