Top event from the 10th-12th March in Wetzlar
RSV Lahn-Dill are very much looking forward to the premiere of the new mode of the IWBF Champions Cup, in which Wetzlar will be hosting again for the first time in eight years from the 10th until the 12th of March. The Club will welcome three international top teams, who must qualify this weekend in the stage of EuroLeague I for these newly created quarter finals in the Spanish capital Madrid and the German capital of Wheelchair Basketball Wetzlar.
The two teams that were in the final the year before automatically become the hosts for the quarter finals, in this case CD Ilunion and RSV Lahn-Dill. Another six teams will now have to qualify for the quarter finals in March in Wetzlar and Madrid this weekend in EuroLeague I.
Even though Captain Michael Paye and his team don’t know their opposition yet, the schedule is already set. The tournament starts Friday evening a 17:45 with the first game, with the first game including RSV taking place at eight o’clock. The games on Saturday are at 17:15 and 19:30, with RSV playing in the latter match. Game five and six are played at 13:45 and 4 o’clock, again with RSV playing in the later one. The first two teams of this round will then go on to play the newly created Final Four tournament early in May.
Tickets for the quarter finals will be sold from this Saturday, either in the gym or at the RSV office in Wetzlar, as well as the Forum Wetzlar, ligne roset and MAZ Kartenshop in Giessen. Day passes are 12,- Euros (9,- reduced), and weekend passes are 30,- Euros (24,- reduced).
