Bundesliga works for a new record

Hamburg`s O2 World Arena could be the witness of new Bundesliga`s record next February, when Borussia Dusseldorf will host Fulda Maberzell in the remake of 2013/14 national league final. Organizers of this event are hoping that these two clubs will attract over 4,500 people, which is the highest attendance in Bundesliga since 2007 clash between Dusseldorf`s side and TTC Frickenhausen.

Defending champion Borussia usually plays his game at ARAG Centre Court in Dusseldorf, but this time Timo BOLL & Company will compete in the place where Hamburg Freezers (Ice Hockey) and HSV Hamburg (handball) host their opponents. Battle with Fulda will be held on February 27^th (20h00 CET), gathering five actual or former German national team members: Timo BOLL, Patrick FRANZISKA (Borussia), Patrick BAUM, Christian SUSS and Ruwen FILUS. BAUM and SUSS reached several major trophies playing in Borussia`s line-up alongside BOLL, including three Men`s European Champions League titles in a row.

Alexander Otto Sport Foundation prepares one more unique event in the same package with Bundesliga game. On same day 500 children, disabled and non-disabled, will have an opportunity to meet sport stars. Actually, it was the main reason why Borussia is invited to play in Hamburg: to inspire youth to enjoy in table tennis.
