From derby to derby

From 6 pm on Sunday we are closing this week with the 63rd Sopron-Szekszárd league game in which we can't have any goal other than keeping our unbeaten streak alive.

Our rivals currently occupy the third place on the league table with a 4-1 record. They have collected their wins very confidently, while they have suffered their only defeat away from home against DVTK after a great battle. They are following a flawless pattern in EuroCup, last time out they celebrated a victory playing guests to Germand side Herner TC.

From the names that are well-known in the club the trio of Hungarian national team member Ágnes Studer, WNBA player Erica McCall and Ivana Dojkic, the prospect of Croatian basketball is delivering a solid performance game by game. The latter has even raised the quality of her game and her consistency. Summer signing Marie Ruzickova has fit in the new system quite quickly. The Slovakian player isn't unknown for us either. Back when she was really young she played for us for a while as a part of the agreement with Zala Volán. They have lost the American player Marshall due to an injury, her place was taken by her fellow American Daniel Cherise Michelle, with whom they were not going for the unknown, because she has played for her a few years back. It is obvious, that they are hurt by the absence of Lívia Gereben - to whom we hereby wish all the best- but we can still be sure that they will be there in crunchtime of the championship.

Our team is getting in better and better form by the passing of every single day. Our defense is already Euroleague level, which helps us through weaker periods in offense in almost every game. Montpellier, Győr and Fenerbahce have all struggled to play against our defense. Since Szekszárd is also building on that, it is most likely that it will characterize the game on Sunday. We are counting on our enthusiastic fans as well, who, equipped with the free clappers, have created a fantastic atmosphere against the Turkish, helping the girls through critical moments.

We have asked Virág Weninger about her expectations before the game.



Tickets can be purchased at the venue for 1200 HUF. Entry to the game is free of charge below the age of 14 and above 70!

The game can be followed via live online statistics, at the federation's website and via live online video streaming courtesy of sport.mindigo.hu.

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 döntőjét? 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

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

Két éve, március idusán felfoghatatlan siker kapujába érkeztünk
