On the road at the newly promoted

Our schedule is getting crowded from now on, since we are switching to a two games per week rhythm. Before the beginning of the Euroleague season next week we are facing a mid-week task in the Hungarian league from 6.30 pm in Városmajor against rookies TFSE-MTK, who have caused a big upset in Baranya against PEAC-Pécs.

Our opponents have become a team by merging two clubs together for the season. With the fusion of MTK who have a huge past behind them and the champions of last season's second division TFSE-MTK was created, who chose Városmajor as their home. The head coach of the team is Bianka Magyar who led TFSE to the first division, and who is one of the group of young coaches who have a bright future ahead of themselves. The head coach of our opponent and our former youth player Bianka Magyar took our praising words kindly after their big win at the weekend and she has also shared her thoughts with us about her connection to Sopron.

"Firstly, thank you for the kind words. I am happy about the win, of course, but we are still playing with a lot of mistakes, which is natural. We don't want to rush anything in preparation, we are advancing step-by-step in practice, and we hope that the time will come when we will play the way we have planned. Wednesday's game will really be a bit different than others, it is special for many reasons. We have great respect for our opponents, we would like to be a worthy opposition to them, and make a little step forward in comparison to the game on Saturday."

TFSE-MTK began the season with great rhythm, not at all scared of their rivals. They have caused some problems in the opening game against last year's runners-up DVTK (66-83), and in their second appearance they managed to come away with a surprise victory. They won at the home court of PEAC-Pécs by burying no less than 13 triples (94-84)! Looking through statistics we can see that besides the two Americans Chanise and Alisia Jenkins there are two Hungarians Réka Bernáth and Krisztina Süle who average over 30 minutes on court. They are also responsible for most of their points scored. On the roster we can also find Alma Németh who - just like her coach - was our former youth player. They put together a well-paced, brave team who will for sure give all they've got against us as well.

Our team has also brought good performances in the games so far. Responsibilities were well distributed among the players, and it says a lot about our defense that we managed to hold Cegléd at 14 points until half-time at the season opener. It is very important for us to make steps forward with every game, because next week, on October 16th we are playing in France against BLMA on the opening day of the Euroleague season which seems to be a very difficult job.

Before the game we asked Kamilla Varga about her expectations with whom we also took a look back on the events of last weekend's festive season-opener.



The game that tips off at 6.30 pm can be followed via live online statistics at the website of the Hungarian Federation.

A decision has been made about closing this season's international tournaments at the FIBA Board's online meeting

A FIBA Board online ülésén döntés született arról, hogy az idei szezon nemzetközi sorozatai lezárásra kerülnek

Török Zoltán: Mese is lehetne címû könyve most már nem csak online rendelhetõ, hanem személyesen is megvásárolható hétköznapokon klubunk sportirodáján (Novomatic Aréna, Lackner K

Új szakvezetõvel, tovább fiatalított csapattal vágtunk neki az idei szezonnak, melynek kezdete minden várakozásunkat felülmúlta

We got into this season with a new head coach and a roster that was even younger than before, and the beginning of it was above all expectations

Who would have thought back in 2018 that a year later we would be able to host the Euroleague FINAL4 again? Well, the world set their eyes on Sopron again, because the decision-makers at FIBA thought that only the experience staff of our club would be able to organize the event on a high level within three weeks

Ki gondolta volna 2018-ban, hogy egy év múlva ismét mi rendezhetjük az Euroliga négyes döntõjét? Már pedig ismét Sopronra szegezte tekintetét a nagyvilág, miután a FIBA döntnökei úgy gondolták, egyesül a mi klubunk tapasztalt stábja tudja három hét alatt megszervezni magas színvonalon az eseményt

It is generally thought that it is always easier to get to the top than to stay there

Általános vélekedés, hogy a csúcsra mindig könnyebb felérni, mint ott maradni

Regarding the 2018 Euroleague Final every basketball enthusiast was preparing for celebration

A 2018-as FINAL4 döntõje kapcsán ünnepre készült minden magyar kosárlabda barát! Elõször léphetett pályára magyar csapat az Euroliga elsõségért! A túloldalon egy kisebb világválogatott sorakozott fel, mely érvényre is juttatta nagyobb erejét a remekül küzdõ csapatunkkal szemben

Our club has completed the creation of the roster for the 2020/2021 season

Klubunk befejezte a 2020/21-es kosárlabda szezon csapatának kialakítását

Even making it to the FINAL4 in 2018 was an incredible performance, not to mention that for the first time in club history we were able to host the top clubs of Euroleague and many important personalities of the basketball world

Már az is elképesztõ teljesítmény volt, hogy 2018-ban ott lehettünk a FINAL4-ban, arról nem is beszélve, hogy fennállásunk során elõször láthattuk vendégül rendezõként az Euroliga top csapatait és a kosárlabda világ számos neves személyiségét

Két éve, március idusán felfoghatatlan siker kapujába érkeztünk

Two years ago at the ides of March we have come to the gates of an incomprehensible success
