Germany - VBL 1. Bundesliga 2026/27

Dutch middle blocker Roos Wessels confirmed she will play in Germany next season. Curious where she will end up, hopefully not Schwerin...

She was so good in the final playoffs, even ended top scorer (again) yesterday with 20 points. I really hope she will go somewhere she can play as starter

I got the impression during broadcasts that Krikhaar (L, OH in youth NT) and Silderhuis (MB) were also leaving Apollo 8? If so, wondering if they may go abroad as well. They played really well during playoffs too

My guess is Wiesbaden. Felix will praise Paul's coaching skills.

Quote from Franki

I really hope that Suhl will have 12 players if they play champions league

They are forced to, less isn't allowed.

Schwarz-Weiß Erfurt has pulled up Rosalie Tetzel from second team.

Today in the evening was a little local talk show with Alexander Mantlik as guest.

Alexander Mantlik said they need to sign 2 more players for Champions League because regulations say 14 players.

About 41 min it starts about VfB Suhl and about sign 2 more players 1h 2 min.

Obviously numbers were increased, while maximum for CL stays at 18, minimum went from 12 to 14. But of course there is no quality control, so Suhl can fill up with not CL ready players like they did last season.

......so Suhl can fill up with not CL ready players like they did last season.

I think so too. I would do the same.

For this I think so they will maybe players like Allina Zellin from Erfurt to have them on the bench

Quote from Idefix

I guess Vilsbiburg will continue with Emely Brodowski as 1st Libera. After their last home game, they said goodbye to only two players (Burk and Brandhuber). The rest will likely stay.

As can be seen from the league composition of the 2nd Bundesliga published today by the VBL, Vilsbiburg will again compete in the 2nd Bundesliga South with a second team. I strongly assume that some players who played in the first team this season will play there next season. Because the current second team from Vilsbiburg only just managed to stay in the third league. So I don't think this team would be competitive in the 2nd Bundesliga.

Alina Zellin is going to play abroad...not in Suhl

Lucia Herdova is joining VfB Suhl Lotto Thüringen.

Since AlphaVfB was faster, I'll slightly amend my post:

After Jakub Brečka's move to Hamburg, I was already hoping that Lucia Herdová would also transfer to the Bundesliga. I didn't necessarily expect it to be Suhl. Let's see how László Hollósy can develop her further.

Very good. Herdova is a top international player. So, now with Nagels, Hartmann, Naujack, Herdova, Laakkonen, Berger, Sambale there is already a competitive Starting 7 which should be able to reach 5th place at least which is a realistic objective for Suhl. But further reinforcements are welcome of course. Haferkorn hopefully will pull someone out of the hat again like in the last years.

This article tells, two players from Leverkusen going to first league, but not which team:

Viktoria Dörschug and Svenja Enning.

Dresden announced the signing of Mackenzie Foley today.

Actually Dresden has a good squad in paper that can compete for post season in A1
