In Group 1 of Stage 2 in the ETTU Champions League Women, French Saint-Quentin TT, seeded no. 5, will face top-seeded KTS Enea Siarkopol Tarnobrzeg and Spanish MIRÓ Ganxets Costa Daurada, runners-up from Stage 1.

Our team is ready for the coming week, a packed one with two League matches, followed by the first leg of the European Champions League group stage,Ћ саид Coach Olga MIKHAYLOVA. “Our primary goal is to secure a spot in the quarterfinals after Stage 2, and then push as far as possible into the main draw. Our strong team spirit and positive mindset are driving our motivation this season. In our group, the leader team is Tarnobrzeg which is as strong as usual, and the Spanish team Miro Ganxets is also very good. So we are prepared for interesting matches to offer to our supporters.” Linda BERGSTRÖM explained: “We are in good shape and have a good atmosphere in the team. We have started well in the French Pro A and are ready for the new Champions League season. Our expectation for the group stage is to be top 2 and qualify for the play-off. Tarnobrzeg is always a strong team with a lot of good players, and the new team from Spain will also be a challenge. We will have to play on top to fulfil our goals.” The four-time ETTU Champions League champions, Tarnobrzeg with Germany’s Ying HAN, Japan’s Satsuki ODO, Portugal’s Fu YU, Monaco’s Xiaoxin YANG, China’s Zhuojia HE, Hong Kong’s Wing Lam NG and Poland’s Magdalena SIKORSKA and Kinga STEFANSKA are the toughest adversaries. “Tarnobrzeg has the strongest team in the group. They always have a very strong and versatile team. The important thing for us is to have all our players in good shape. We have a mall roster so we can’t afford injuries or being out of shape.” In French Pro A TT Saint-Quentin is a current leader. “We have played three matches in the French Pro A and won all of them. So we are in first place together with the other two unbeaten teams. The Champions League is always important for the club. The goal is to qualify for the play-off and play some great matches for our spectators at home. All of us have started the season well. Barbora VARADY is a new player in the team, and she has really been a key player to win our first matches. Normally also Polina MIKHAILOVA is important for us. It has been shown before that when she is in good shape, we perform well as a team.” What message would you like to send to your supporters before the start of the group stage? “That the matches will be tough from the beginning and that we need their support to perform at the highest level from the start,” stated Linda BERGSTRÖM.

ASC Grünwettersbach Ready for Historic Knock-Out Stage Challenge Against GV Hennebont TT
Germany’s ASC Grünwettersbach, seeded no. 15 in the ETTU Champions League Men, continues its impressive debut season in the ETTU European League. Led by Tiago APOLONIA, Hiroto SHINOZUKA, Ricardo WALTHER, Tobias HIPPLER, and Damian FLOR, the Karlsruhe-based club topped its Group in Novi Sad, overcoming strong opposition from AS Pontoise Cergy (France), Real Club Cajasur Priego TM (Spain), and TTC Ostrava 2016 (Czechia). Their reward: a thrilling Round-of-16 duel on 14 November against the French powerhouse GV Hennebont TT, seeded no. 7, who now enter the competition in the knock-out stage. Manager Martin WERNER spoke about the team’s form, ambitions, and expectations ahead of this historic tie. Speaking of the team’s current shape and atmosphere in the squad WERNER stated: “We have had a very good start to the TTBL season and are also delighted to have reached the knockout stages in our first Champions League campaign! Unfortunately, Ricardo WALTHER and Tiago APOLONIA were both injured in the last two TTBL matches. We hope that both will be fit again for the first leg of the round of 16! Despite the injuries, the mood in the team is very good! The rest of the squad is fit and in good spirits. Any challenges or important changes for this season? “The big challenge this season is the tight schedule that the players have to cope with due to WTT tournaments, TTBL matches and other international commitments. The Champions League matches have of course added an extra burden for our players. We don’t have a large squad of players, but we do have young players who still compete for our club in the 3rd Bundesliga. Of course, the additional financial expenditure in the Champions League also plays a major role. We therefore hope for a well-attended first leg of the round of 16 in the ASC-Arena!” What is your current position and recent performance in Bundesliga? “We have started the TTBL season very positively and are satisfied with our performances so far, especially given the additional European schedule. The team spirit and home support in Karlsruhe have been fantastic.” How do you assess the forthcoming duel, what are your expectations, and what do you consider to be the strong and weak points of both your side and your opponent? “ Hennebont is a top team! Simon GAUZY and Vladimir SIDERENKO are well known to us from the TTBL. Simon in particular was one of the ‘superstars’ of the TTBL for many years. Added to this are three top players from China! Hennebont is spoilt for choice here. For us, it makes no difference which of the three top Chinese players will play, as they are all very, very strong! We will definitely give everything we have to reach the quarter-finals! At our home game, we hope to have the support of our fans, who can tip the scales in decisive moments.” Is there any particular player who has shown exceptional progress or who you expect to play a key role in this tie? “Every single player has contributed to our success so far, and that unity will again be crucial. With Tiago and Ricardo hopefully returning, and Hiroto SHINOZUKA’s form improving week by week, we believe in our collective strength rather than relying on one individual.” How important is this competition for your club within the broader sporting calendar? “When you’re in the round of 16 of the Champions League, you naturally want to advance to the quarter-finals! The match is very important for us as a club and also for the city of Karlsruhe, as no sports club from Karlsruhe has ever played in the Champions League before!” What message would you like to send to your fans before the start of the Knock-Out Round? “We will give everything! The support of our fans can make all the difference in this historic moment. We hope the ASC-Arena will be full and that our supporters will push us forward in every rally.” How would you describe your preparation and approach to this stage compared to the group phase? “Unfortunately, we can’t prepare specifically for the Champions League match, as we have TTBL matches before and after the match against Hennebont. It’s more about recovery between matches! But we will definitely be ready!”
PGE Fibrain Ku AZS Politechnika Rzeszów Ready for Stage Two Debut
Polish PGE Fibrain Ku AZS Politechnika Rzeszów will play in Stage 2 of the ETTU Champions League Women. The team has already “warmed up” in the opening stage, where it lost only to Czech SKST Plus Hodonín but secured progression to the next phase with victories over Serbia’s TTC Novi Sad and Croatia’s Dr. Časl. Now, PGE Fibrain Ku AZS Politechnika Rzeszów will compete in Group 2 against France’s Metz TT and Italy’s ASD Quattro Mori Cagliari, fighting for one of the two available spots leading to the quarterfinals. The roster for this season is composed of very young, ambitious players supported by the experienced Fen LI, former European champion from Sweden. The lineup includes 19-year-old Polish rising star Zuzanna WIELGOS, Taipei’s and Korea’s teenage prospects Yi Tian YEH and Yerin KIM, Sweden’s Nomin BAASAN, and Polish players Ilona SZTWIERTNIA, Oliwia WATOR, and Aleksandra GUZIK. “The atmosphere before the Champions League matches is excellent. All the players are in great shape, and we’ll play with our strongest lineup,” explained Coach Karol PAŚKO. Zuzanna WIELGOS confirmed that the team is looking forward to the upcoming clashes with great anticipation: “We’re all in a positive mindset and well-prepared for the group stage matches.” The Polish club will indeed need all the positive energy it can gather. Metz TT comes in as the no. 2 seed and last year’s runner-up, while ASD Quattro Mori Cagliari holds the no. 7 seed position. “We’re playing in a very strong group, in my opinion, the strongest one. The teams from Metz and Cagliari have outstanding players in their squads. We hope to advance to the Champions League quarterfinals, but we know it will be a huge challenge. I consider Metz the favorite in our group. I’m counting on good performances from Fen LI and Zuzanna WIELGOS in our team,” stated Coach PAŚKO. “Fen LI has returned to full fitness after a long injury, which is the most important thing. I hope Ilona SZTWIERTNIA will allso seized her oportunity.” WIELGOS responded to her coach’s plans: “I want to play my best. I have a chance to win against some of the top players. Our whole team is strong and ready. The strongest team is Metz, who we’ll play against on November 11 here in Rzeszów. But at this stage, every team is really strong. If we play at a very good level, I won’t worry about the results. The Champions League is very important both for my club and for me personally. We want to advance from the group and play in the knockout stage.” Speaking about their opponents, Zuzanna added: “The team from Metz has top-level players such as GODA and LUTZ. The Italian team features the Russian player ABRAMIAN. These teams are very strong.” It is a historic moment for the club. “We are taking part in the Champions League for the first time. We want to show our best side, both sportingly and organizationally. A very demanding season lies ahead of us,” explained Coach PAŚKO. “Together, we are fighting and writing the history of table tennis in Rzeszów. We invite everyone to our match on November 11, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. Let’s fight together!” The club is currently in fourth place in the Polish Ekstraklasa. “There are still many matches ahead of us, and we want to improve our position,” the coach explained. Finally, WIELGOS had a message for the fans: “Please keep your fingers crossed for us and follow our matches live, it’s going to be a great show!”
Sokah Hoboken Poised for Historic Knock-Out Stage Debut in the ETTU Champions League
The kick-off of the Knock-Out Stage of the ETTU Champions League Men is less than two weeks away. The heavyweights, the top eight seeded clubs will enter the arena to face the Group Stage 1 winners and runners-up. Belgium’s TTC Sokah Hoboken will challenge last year’s Final Four contenders, Polish KS Bank Spółdzielczy Orlicz 1924 Suchedniów. Last season, Sokah competed only in Group Stage 1, but this time the Belgian side advanced a step further after defeating Austria’s SPG Felbemayr Wels, Czechia’s SKST Havířov, and Croatia’s STK Starr to secure their place among the Round of 16. “The current shape of the team is great after winning recently the most important match of the season in Belgium. Plus, Rémi BÉTELU joining the squad brings fresh and powerful energy to the whole team to give, together, a proper fight to the Polish club,”explained Benjamin BROSSIER. Manager Marc GIJS highlighted the importance of the team’s recent success: “The team is performing well, and the atmosphere is amazing since we beat our big opponent in Belgium, Diest, last Wednesday with 4–2. Diest became seven-time Belgian champion between 2018 and 2024, and Sokah was almost always second. This year Sokah became champion. Diest is playing with CARVALHO, NORDBERG, PLATONOV, VOSTES and KANAMITSU.” When asked if the players are ready for the forthcoming challenge, BROSSIER confirmed briefly: “All are ready to go.” GIJS added: “Everybody is ready and fit to compete: Quentin ROBINOT, Gabrielius CAMARA, Benjamin BROSSIER, Rémi BÉTELU and Olav KOSOLOSKY.” BROSSIER elaborated on their broader vision: “The external goal is simple, to win the championship in Belgium and to go as far as possible in Europe, first in the Champions League! But more importantly, to keep growing together as athletes and human beings.” Manager GIJS further pointed out that Rémi BÉTELU’s addition marks another key step forward: “Rémi joined Sokah to play in Europe with the club.” BROSSIER explained their current domestic position: “We are first in the Championship after beating the second-strongest team in the league. But there is still a long way to go.” Sokah defeated seven-time Belgian champions Diest 4–2 last Wednesday and remains unbeaten in the Belgian Superdivision after six matches. Sokah leads the standings, with Diest following in second place, though twelve matches still remain to be played. Regarding the upcoming clash with KS Bank Spółdzielczy Orlicz 1924 Suchedniów, BROSSIER admitted they still have limited knowledge of their opponents: “Our expectation is to give a good show to our supporters and to enjoy the time we spend in the arena. We will study our adversary for sure in the coming days. Our strength is our team spirit.” Manager GIJS underlined the historical importance of Sokah’s progress: “It’s the first time in the club’s history that we’ve reached the last sixteen of the Champions League. Sokah is even the first Belgian club, after the unbeatable Villette Charleroi, to come this far. We’ve already achieved something special and can be proud, representing the city of Antwerp and Belgian table tennis. Every new victory is a bonus, a new step in our history.” He added that despite not being the strongest team on paper, Sokah’s unity and resilience are unmatched: “We maybe don’t have the strongest team, but we have a real team spirit and a fighting spirit. The players never give up and that will be necessary against Orlicz, who is very strong. Last year they reached the Final Four! They are the favourites, but as always, we will do our best.” BROSSIER: “Winning or losing that’s not the point. We expect the whole team to play a key role, as always.” GIJS: “We have experienced players, but I’d like to mention two in particular. First, Rémi BÉTELU he joined with great enthusiasm to play in the Champions League and has made a lot of progress this year. Then there’s Gabrielius CAMARA, the young Dutch champion. He already showed his skills in Novi Sad. Who knows what he can do against Orlicz?” Importance of the competition? BROSSIER: “The Champions League is a great opportunity for us to play high-level matches. The club is looking forward to playing an important role on the European stage.” GIJS: “It’s something extra, something the city of Antwerp, the Flemish capital of sports, is proud of. Last season we gave younger players a chance internationally, but this season we’re fielding our full first team: BROSSIER, ROBINOT, BÉTELU, CAMARA and KOSOLOSKY. We don’t know how far we can go, but we’ll fight and try to reach the limit.” Message to the Fans? BROSSIER: “We don’t need to say much, our fans know what we give at the table, and they’ll be there.” GIJS:“They love this team because of its spirit and fight. They’ll see that again, even though it will be very tough to beat such a strong team as Orlicz. For our fans, it will be a great match, a big opportunity to see some of the best players in Europe.” GIJS concluded: “Our main goal is to enjoy ourselves, give the players the chance to play high-level matches, and do something for the city of Antwerp, for our sponsors, and for Belgian table tennis. We’ll see how far we can go.” Speking of preparation and mindset comparing the Stage 1. BROSSIER: “This stage is very different from Novi Sad in August. Back then, players were not yet at 100%. Now we’re at the peak of the season, and everyone is ready. It will be a great match to watch.” GIJS:“Knowing that we beat Diest last Wednesday, I’m convinced everyone is even more prepared than in Novi Sad. But of course, that guarantees nothing, we’ll see.”
