The fourth Austrian Bundesliga crown run for Felbermayr Wels is complete. PARK Ganghyeon sealed the title with a 2:0 win over Stockerau’s Khalid ASSAR, bringing the score to 3:1 and paving the way for a 4:1 final in the Bundesliga. The superstar, specially flown in from South Korea, had already won the opening singles against David SERDAROGLU and the doubles match alongside Maciej KOLODZIEJCZYK. Then the celebration began — championship T-shirts were out!

PARK Ganghyeon was the undisputed hero of the final: he opened the tie with a 3:1 win over David SERDAROGLU, later won the doubles with KOLODZIEJCZYK, and finally clinched the decisive match against Khalid ASSAR, taking the first game 11:0.
“He played outstandingly. We want to keep him in Wels for the long term,” said Wels team manager Bernhard HUMER.

The fourth point for Wels came from Maciej KOLODZIEJCZYK, who staged two impressive comebacks against Aidos KENZHIGULOV. He turned around the first game from 4:9 and the second from 2:6, eventually converting his second match point with a spectacular counterattack for a 3:1 win.
“I often struggle with slow starts, but the crowd lifted me. I knew AIDOS was known for retrieving everything,” said KOLODZIEJCZYK.
“Maciej played some unbelievable balls — it was a treat to watch,” praised Bundesliga director Günther RENNER.
Khalid ASSAR secured the only point for Stockerau by defeating Andreas LEVENKO in the deciding fifth game with a 6:0 shutout.
“Such a short decider might be entertaining for spectators, but it feels like a coin toss and has no place in professional sport,” said LEVENKO, who now leaves Wels to join Ochsenhausen in the German Bundesliga.
Wels team manager Bernhard Humer was elated:
“We made history by winning both the upper and lower playoffs — for the first time ever. I’m extremely proud.”
Looking ahead, Julian RZIHAUSCHEK will transfer to Sparkasse Salzburg this summer, while David SERDAROGLU is stepping back and will voluntarily play in the lower playoff next season.
